UCF Buries Bethune-Cookman 73-6 with Ten Touchdowns
UCF scored 73 points and its best fantasy player had 19.2. That is what happens when ten different touchdowns get spread across nine different scorers. The Knights (1-0) beat Bethune-Cookman (0-1) 73-6, and the Wildcats did not get on the board until the last play of the game.
It was 14-0 with 10:42 still left in the first quarter. Duke Watson went 64 yards on a run at 11:02 of the first quarter, and 20 seconds later Jayden Williams returned an interception 47 yards for a score. Alonza Barnett III ran in from five yards to make it 21-0 before the quarter ended, and Barnett threw a 23-yard touchdown to Jonathan Bibbs to open the second for 28-0. Will Stone kicked a 34-yard field goal, Landen Chambers scored from two yards out with 1:50 left in the half, and it was 38-0 at the break.
The third quarter was the worst of it. Taevion Swint ran 27 yards, Chambers ran 27, Keyone Jenkins threw a nine-yard score to Caleb Rollerson, and Agyeman Addae took off for 39 yards, which turned 38-0 into 66-0 in about 11 minutes of clock. Rocco Marriott made it 73-0 with a one-yard run at 14:56 of the fourth. Bethune-Cookman's Joel Morris found Kobe Stewart from eight yards as time expired, which is why the score reads 73-6 and not 73-0.
UCF ran for 360 yards on 38 carries and threw for 200, for 560 total, with three sacks on defense. The one blemish was an interception thrown by Barnett.
For fantasy, you could not pick the wrong Knight, but you could pick the right one by accident. Barnett had 19.2 Promethium points, Chambers had 17.6 on two rushing scores, and Watson had 17 on 110 yards and the 64-yarder.
