#WFPPlayoff Round One No. 6 #UCF vs. No. 11 #Bama

Orlando Florida
Citrus Bowl
We have a our first spouts of precipitation: rain showers, breezy at 61 degrees at kickoff

First Quarter
- Opening Drive: Bama marches down the field only to be stopped at the 20. Bama settles for a 37 yard filed goal from Cade Foster Bama 3-0
- Bama forces a Golden Kinights 3 and out and gets right back to business. This time the drive ends with a 8 yard fade to Amari Cooper from McCarron Bama up 10-0
- The Golden Knights go hurry up and finally get some points on the board, with a 29 yard chip shot field goal from Shawn Moffit still Bama 10-3
- Welp, Saban must have chewed out his offense for not being as dominant, and Bama drives 85 yards (all on the ground), finishing with a Kenyan Drake 9 yard plunge to go up 17-3  at the end of the quarter

Second Quarter
-  Like I said, Saban must have chewed out the whole team, because the Bama defense forces another 3 and out, to which the offense takes full advantage of. The next Bama drive finishes on a 4 yard quick slant to DeAndrew White from McCarron putting the Tide up by three TDs 24-3
- UCF finally finds their run game, that's carried them this season and Storm "Great Name for a Running Back" Johnson find the right pylon on a 10 yard scamper putting the Knights only down two scores 24-10
- Bama goes hurry up the next two drives and gets two scores, starting with a 2 yard plunge from TJ Yeldon and then a 34 yarder from Cade Foster after forcing a Blake Bortles INT in UCF's territory
Bama leads at the half 34-10

Third Quarter
Both teams post drives this quarter but no scores occured. It looked like a wonderful B1G game where all drives ended in punts

Fourth Quarter
Finally scoring happens, a Bama drive ends with a TJ Yeldon 39 yard sprint, putting the Bama starters on the bench for the rest of the game and the game well out of reach Bama 41-10
The Central Knights get two gimme scores as the Bammer nation watches their 2s and 3s get PT

FINAL: BAMA 41 UCF 25

The Numbers:
Yeldon: 189 yards on the ground and two scores
McCarron: 352 yards through the air with a pair of scores
UCF: held to 269 total yards
