Be ready early as this matchup starts at 5:30 a.m. Las Vegas time being played in Dublin, Ireland.

Central Florida nipped Penn State last year at State College, 34-31. The Knights have the better athletes and are the better team this season.

Bill O'Brien did a great job keeping things together for Penn State. But he's gone now and the heavy loss of recruits due to the Jerry Sandusky sex scandal are going to haunt the Nittany Lions especially when they take on very good teams such as UCF.

The Knights no longer have Blake Bortles, but have nearly their entire defense back from last year when they finished 17th in scoring defensive giving up 21.3 points per game. It's a championship caliber defense.

Christian Hackenberg is a good quarterback, but he's playing behind a weak offensive line. The Knights will be able to blitz Hackenberg liberally because of their outstanding cornerbacks.

The Knights have covered in their last six non-league games, including beating Baylor by 10 points in last season's Fiesta Bowl. The Knights also have covered 74 percent of their last 19 non-league matchups.
