UCF rallies for thrilling last-second win at Kansas, snaps 12-game road skid

In that time, the Knights have had a coaching change, started eight different quarterbacks and renovated the Roth Tower at Acrisure Bounce House Stadium, all while mired in a 12-game road losing streak. kAm%96 >:D6CJ 2H2J 7C@> 9@>6[ E9@F89[ :D @G6C] &ru @C:2= $E25:F> @? $2EFC52J] %96 z?:89ED 5:5?’E 5@ :E E96 62DJ H2J[ 9@H6G6C]k^Am kAm&ru 3F:=E 2 ae\f =625 :?
