Winning is an attitude.
That’s motto for the UCF athletics department this season coined by vice president and director of athletics Terry Mohajir and the football team epitomized that mindset Saturday evening, rallying from a 21-point deficit to earn a 35-34 win against TCU in its Big 12 Conference opener at Amon G. Carter Stadium.
Trailing 21-7 at halftime and 28-7 following the first drive of the second half, the Knights regrouped and were the better team for the remainder of the contest. UCF (3-0, 1-0 B12) outscored TCU (2-1, 0-1) 13-10 in the third quarter and 15-3 in the fourth quarter to open Big 12 play with a win.
The comeback win ties the Boise State game from 2021, head coach Gus Malzahn’s first game leading the Knights, for the largest come-from-behind win in program history.
