Harvey at the UCF 46-yard line for a 16-yard gain.The Bears used two turnovers and four straight scoring drives to complete the improbable comeback, closing to 35-33 with more than six minutes to play after Caden Jenkins scooped up a fumbled snap and raced 72 yards for a touchdown.

Wide receiver Monaray Baldwin finished the game with seven catches for 150 yards and a touchdown.QUARTERBACKS ON THE MEND The Knights' 79-yard touchdown run from Johnny Richardson on the opening play was the team's longest play from scrimmage this season and the first time the Knights scored on their opening play since a win over Rice in 2009.The Knights scored 28 first-half points despite holding the ball for only 6:58.
