LIVE BLOG: UCF vs Furman (Week 3)
The UCF Knights take on FCS opponent Furman at Bright House Networks Stadium on Saturday at 6 p.m.
UCF (0-2) is looking for their first win of the season a week after losing starting quarterback Justin Holman to a hand injury.
Bo Schneider should get the start under center for the Knights, but it wouldn’t be surprising to see Tyler Harris make an appearance at quarterback.
