It was pretty fun to watch. QB John Plumlee played the baseball game and then ran over to compete in the football spring game.

The format of the spring game was fan friendly with the 2nd half format was pretty funny. Lineman had to catch punts, speed racing between players and mascots, & fans allowing to be on the field.


ORLANDO - Just before he walked off the field Friday night at FBC Mortgage Stadium, UCF football coach Gus Malzahn delivered words Knights fans have longed to hear.

"See you in the Big 12."

The next time Malzahn's team takes the field in front of its crowd, it will do so as fully fledged Power Five members. UCF closes out its spring practice schedule Tuesday officially, but hosted its signature Knights vs. 'Nauts one-half scrimmage a few days ahead of time.

3. Bowman rebounds after early fumble
Speaking of the turnover, it came on Demarkcus Bowman's first touch of the evening. True freshman Jason Duclona jarred the ball free, and fellow early enrollee Kaven Call secured the recovery.

Bowman atoned for the error, though, and flashed his exceptional speed in ripping off a couple gains of 20-plus yards.

"You saw it, he's got real speed. He's a home run waiting to happen," Malzahn said.

Named Mr. Football after his senior year at Lakeland High, Bowman spent a year apiece at Clemson and Florida, where he totaled 113 yards on 23 attempts. He rushed six times for 61 yards, including a 21-yard touchdown.

Returning starter RJ Harvey handled the lion's share of first-team carries throughout spring, and he rushed for a 10-yard TD. Bowman should be in the mix for opportunities along with fellow Polk County native Johnny Richardson and Jordan McDonald.
