UCF Thumps UNC 34-9 as Scott Frost Tops Mentor Bill Belichick

Frost said Belichick's 'Central' remark became locker-room fuel for a UCF team gaining early momentum.

Overview

  • Quarterback Tayven Jackson produced a rushing and passing touchdown as UCF built a 20-3 halftime lead, with Myles Montgomery adding a 1-yard score after the break.
  • Scott Frost said Belichick’s reference to UCF as “Central” was used as bulletin-board motivation for his locker room.
  • Bill Belichick acknowledged North Carolina had too many problems and said the Knights were simply better on the day.
  • UNC starter Gio Lopez threw two interceptions before exiting in the second half with a leg injury.
  • The matchup was a reunion, as Frost played for Belichick on the New York Jets in 1998-99 before returning to UCF this offseason following a year with the Rams.
