Rankings from AP Poll
The 2019 UCF Knights football team represented the University of Central Florida (UCF) during the 2019 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Knights were led by second-year head coach Josh Heupel and played their home games at Spectrum Stadium in Orlando, Florida. They competed as members of the East Division of the American Athletic Conference.
After consecutive undefeated regular seasons in 2017 and 2018, the Knights were looking for their third consecutive conference championship, and third consecutive appearance in a New Year's Six bowl game. They started the season ranked 17th in both the AP and Coaches polls. However, they suffered three road losses (by a combined total of 7 points) to finish 10–3 and in second place in the American Athletic Conference East Division. The Knights were invited to the Gasparilla Bowl where they defeated Marshall by the score of 48–25. At season's end, they ranked 24th in both final polls.
True freshman Dillon Gabriel emerged as the starting quarterback, earning the job over Notre Dame transfer Brandon Wimbush, and returning redshirt sophomore Darriel Mack Jr., who had suffered a broken ankle during the offseason. The Knights finished the season riding a school-record 21 consecutive home game victories at Spectrum Stadium, and the senior class finished with a school-record 41 wins. UCF also established an NCAA Division I FBS record (since the poll era began in 1936) of most consecutive games scoring 30 or more points (31 total). The Knights finished 2nd in the nation in total offensive yards/game (540.5), 8th in passing yards/game (316.7), and 5th in points/game (43.4).[1] During the 2010s, UCF compiled a record of 88–42, the winningest decade in program history.
