Sentinel Sports Final

Friday, September 29, 2023

The Sentinel's Matt Murschel takes us way back to UCF-Baylor, this weekend's matchup at the Bounce House, and how it led to the Big 12. Blake Bortles and company don't disappoint. ... Two offensive weapons should help Billy Napier's team this weekend in Kentucky. It seems like every game is make-or-break (which is kinda ridiculous) but that Tennessee win means more if he can stack Kentucky on top of it. ... The Ryder Cup is underway in Italy ... The Miami Heat thought they had a vise grip on Damian Lillard but he ends up on with Giannis in Milwaukee, but everyone forgets this: Lillard is 33. This might not be the same as Allen Iverson going to Denver to play with Carmelo (Lillard + Giannis, OK?), but experience tells me to cool my jets. Too many teams (and fan bases) celebrate in the offseason. They have a first-time head coach. ... It's a busy high school football Week 6. District matchups heat up.

UCF's magical run to Big 12 status started a decade ago with this week's Big 12 opponent — Baylor

In the decade since that Fiesta Bowl win, UCF claimed three conference titles, earned a spot in back-to-back New Year's Six Access bowls highlighted by a win over Auburn in the 2017 Peach Bowl to finish undefeated. The Knights won a school-record 25 straight games and earned a Big 12 bid in 2023.
