The UCF Knights lost their season opener 14-15 against the FIU Panthers Thursday night at Bright House Networks Stadium.

UCF went into the game strong, going into the half up 14-3, but the Knights were unable to put any more on the board in the second half. The Panthers showed a different team in the second half however, achieving two touchdown scoring drives.

The Knights’ chance at winning then fell short as the potential game-winning field goal was tipped by FIU’s Darrian Dyson.

Here are some shots from UCF’s season opener against FIU taken by the Valencia Voice’s UCF beat photographer Bryce Brimhall.
