TAMPA, Fla. — UCF receiver Ryan O’Keefe did just about everything in leading the Knights to a 29-17 win over the Florida Gators in the Gasparilla Bowl on Thursday night at Raymond James Stadium.
The junior from Texas finished with a Gasparilla Bowl-record 251 all-purpose yards, catching a 54-yard touchdown that put the Knights in control with just over a minute remaining in the third quarter at Raymond James Stadium.
“We beat a real talented team,” Knights coach Gus Malzahn told ESPN after the game. “We’re going in the right direction.”
