For the Bounce House 2020 season finale, UCF will host No. 7 Cincinnati on Saturday afternoon.
Saturday has two more surprises: this year’s seniors will also be honored for Senior Knight and there will also be a flyover before kickoff, thanks to the Red Devils of the U.S. Air Force’s 434th Flying Training Squadron.
The stadium will remain at 25% capacity for the final home game of the season and face masks will be required throughout the stadium, including while sitting down.
UCF (5-2, 4-2) looks to knock off the Top 10 Bearcats this weekend and continue its all-time 3-2 lead in the series between the two AAC squads.
Last week, the Knights defeated the Temple Owls 38-13. Cincinnati (7-0, 5-0) enters the anticipated match-up undefeated after rolling through ECU 55-17.
The season isn’t over yet, Knights. UCF will travel to west-central Florida to face USF in the “War on I-4” series.
You all probably get the gist by now, but alas — here’s everything you need to know for Saturday’s matchup between the UCF Knights and the No. 7 Cincinnati Bearcats:
