Dontravious Wilson ran 17 times for 87 yards and a touchdown for
UCF (6-3, 4-1 American Athletic), which had a 506-201 advantage in
total yards. Josh Reese had 104 receiving yards and a score while
Breshad Perriman finished with 82 yards and a TD as the Knights
moved into a three-way tie atop the conference standings.
A week after throwing for a career-high five touchdowns in a win
over SMU, Dane Evans struggled to complete 9-of-28 passes for just
69 yards, one TD and three interceptions. Keevan Lucas had the lone
TD for Tulsa (2-8, 2-4), which dropped to 0-5 on the road.
UCF turned Evans' first interception into a field goal to start the
scoring and Holman found J.J. Worton from 5 yards out to make it
10-0 early in the second quarter. Holman and Reese hooked up on a
77-yard score on the first play of the next possession before Evans
connected with Lucas for an 8-yard TD to pull the Golden Hurricane
within 17-7 at halftime.
Holman found Perriman for a 25-yard scoring strike 5:33 into the
second half and Wilson finished a 12-play drive with a TD plunge
from a yard out to cap the scoring. Evans threw interceptions in UCF
territory on the next two possessions to thwart any chance at a
comeback as the Knights finished off their 13th straight win in
weekday games.
