That moment in time

Seven minutes and fifty-two seconds left in the third quarter and the visiting Knights were down by a score of 28-7. That moment in time I was disgusted with the turn of events that had just transpired since the resumption of play after the halftime break. That moment in time I had just turned off the surround sound speakers because I did not particularly care to hear the Louisville fans celebrating so loudly in my living room. That moment in time was a gut check time for our young team having to decide then and there were they going to fold or were they going to fight. That moment in time they came to a decision to stand up and fight, not letting the situation get the better of them. I can't say enough how much heart it must have taken for the team to pick themselves up during that momentum swing that was after the other team had after picking up a fumble and running it into the end zone to go up by three touchdowns. Well, unknown to everybody watching the game last Friday Knight at that moment in time the momentum pendulum was about to swing back the other way in a major way. Before the end of the third quarter expired we had tied the score at 28 points a piece and letting the folks up there in Louisville know that at this moment of time we now have a new ball game. At that moment in time when Teddy Bridgewater's hail mary pass hit the ground in the end zone we witnessed a total team effort that only happens with full commitment by everyone on the team. As Knight Fan Stan says "Every day is a great day to be a UCF Knight", but at this moment in time its just got a little sweeter. Go Knights! Charge On!


Join the Knight Celebration!



P.S. Louisville head coach stated in some post game interview that he felt the best team on the field did not win the game. I wonder which game he was talking about and who was he trying to convince. I don't care who you root for but the better team on any football field anywhere does not let a visiting team beat you after you take a 21 point lead half way into the 3rd quarter. Eventually the pollsters got it right and ranked us ahead of the team we defeated on their own turf. Sorry Charlie, UCF was the better team on the field that night, we were the better team in the conference, and we were the higher ranked team at the end of the season.
