In-game Replay: UCF’s Otis Anderson plows into end zone to tie Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl

UCF’s potent offense wasn’t going to let Auburn keep a seven-point lead in the third quarter. Behind one of the top quarterbacks in the country, the Knights moved down the field and scored a 12-yard touchdown to tie Monday’s Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, just before the fourth quarter.

At the Auburn 12-yard line, quarterback McKenzie Milton set up a screen pass for the Knights. He flicked the ball out to running back Otis Anderson, who had blockers in front on him. When he got to the goal line though, he lowered his shoulder and bullied his way into the end zone to tie the game at 20.

Milton also fit a pass into a tight window on a third-and-8 to keep the drive alive. He hit tight end Jordan Akins up the seam of the field for 26 yards and a first down to the Auburn 37-yard line.
