The Central Florida Knights will face the Duke Blue Devils in the Military Bowl in Annapolis.
UCF lost to Tulane in the AAC championship but still had a fruitful regular season, finishing 9-4 in Gus Malzahn’s second year at the helm. The Knights ranked 28th in scoring (32.6 points per game), led by senior transfer quarterback John Rhys Plumlee, who threw for 2,404 yards, 14 touchdowns, and seven interceptions.
The Mike Elko era at Duke has gotten off to a productive start. The Blue Devils finished 8-4 in his first season, which is Duke’s first winning season in four years. Three of the Blue Devil’s four losses were decided by three points or fewer. Duke is led by sophomore quarterback Riley Leonard, who threw 20 touchdowns and 11 rushing touchdowns this season.
