The UCF Knight tried to make head coach Scott Frost’s last game a memorable one at the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl, and boy were they successful.

UCF had a chance to go up by 10 points with a 25-yard field goal, but Matthew Wright’s chip-shot was blocked by Aubrun defensive lineman Derrick Brown, keeping the score at 27-20.

The Tigers then took over at the 20-yard line, however four plays later the Knights got those three points back... plus four more.

Linebacker Chequan Burkett stepped in front on a Jarrett Stidham pass and picked it off. With nothing but green grass in front of him, Burkett returned the interception 45 yards for a touchdown to put UCF up 34-20 with 5:56 left in the game.
