Junior quarterback McKenzie Milton passed for four
touchdowns and rushed for two more as UCF extended its school and American
Athletic Conference record winning streak to 17 games -- the nations longest --
with a 45-14 victory over penalty-plagued Pittsburgh on Saturday in Orlando,
Fla.
Milton completed 18 of 34 passes for 328 yards and rushed
for 51 yards on 10 carries as the 13th-ranked Knights (4-0) also extended their
scoring streak of 30-point games to 17.
Running back Adrian Killins Jr. had a big day for the
Knights, scoring on a 71-yard reception early in the third quarter after he set
up their first score on a 64-yard reception. Killins also rushed for 40 yards
on 12 carries.
The Panthers (2-3) managed only 272 yards in total
offense and hurt themselves with penalties, finishing with 11 for 125 yards.
None was bigger than a roughing-the-passer flag on
cornerback Marquis Williams that nullified safety Damar Hamlin's 88-yard
interception return to UCF's 3-yard line in the second quarter.
That was their eighth penalty of the first half and
allowed UCF to go up 31-7 at the break on Matthew Wright's 21-yard field goal
with two seconds left in the period.
UCF was penalized eight times for 71 yards.
Pitt quarterback Kenny Pickett was 16-for-26 passing for
163 yards and was intercepted once. Running back Qadree Ollison was Pitt's
leading rusher with 49 yards on 11 carries.
The Panthers scored on Rafael Araujo-Lopes' 86-yard punt
return at the end of the first quarter and on receiver Maurice Ffrench's
58-yard reception of a shovel pass from Pickett in the fourth.
Milton was responsible for all four of UCF's first-half
touchdowns, scoring on runs of 5 and 23 yards and throwing touchdown passes of
24 yards to wide receiver Gabriel Davis and 2 yards to tight end Michael
Colubiale. He completed only 10 of his 22 passes in the first half but they
were good for 197 yards.
