ESPN- UCF converts Hail Mary to burn East Carolina
Worst clock management I've seen in a while as ECU leaves UCF with time for 2 passes and a
Hail Mary win. Especially since ECU took over at the UCF 15 with 1:47 to go in the game. Instead of
trying to move the ball forward or get better position for a short FG (risky ?) which could have given them
a 7 point lead......they took 2 knees, a running loss and an intentional sack to lose twenty yards and give
UCF the ball back on their own 35 with 10 secs left and no time outs. Which set up position for a quick
14 yd pass & out of bounds play to stop the clock at midfield with 5 secs..... then the 51 yd stunner by UCF
for the win.
Win gives UCF a share of the AAC title with Memphis. The loss to Uconn was their only one in the AAC
this year( or ever) as they tie Memphis who did not play either ECU or UCF in their 8 game conference
schedule. Cincy can also end up 7-1 with a Saturday win over Houston.
