UCF HC Scott Frost Shares Injury Update on Star RB Duke Watson.
Duke · Kansas · UCFThe UCF Knights snagged an emotional win on Saturday against the Kansas Jayhawks. After blowing a 26-7 lead, they managed a last-minute touchdown drive to score with the clock ticking down to nothing, to win 33-32.
Watson was tackled awkwardly and left the game without training staff attending to him on the field. However, he would be seen getting carted off the field before later returning in a walking boot.
In his place, UCF turned to Landen Chambers and Taevion Swint for the most part at running back, with quarterback Alonza Barnett also becoming a factor in the option run. Chambers led the way with 40 yards on the ground while Swint managed a rushing touchdown, but neither did much to create when holes weren't there.
Behind a struggling offensive line, it was clear how much the offense missed Watson as it bogged down in the second half. However, he didn't have an immediate update.
