A day after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/news\/back-to-back-ucf-football-wins-championship\/\">they beat Memphis to repeat as champions in the American Athletic Conference title game<\/a>, the Knights accepted their invitation Sunday to play in the 2019 PlayStation Fiesta Bowl.<\/p>\n<p>The No. 7 Knights will take on No. 11 LSU on Tuesday, January 1, 2019, at 11 a.m. MT at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s another opportunity to show the world what we can do and ball out,\u201d says senior defensive lineman Titus Davis.\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to my team being together for another month, creating a bigger bond than we already have and just playing together one more time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is UCF\u2019s third straight appearance in a bowl game, second straight in a New Year\u2019s Six bowl and 10th&nbsp;overall, dating to 2005. Last season, the Knights defeated Auburn, 34-27, in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl to complete their undefeated national championship campaign.<\/p>\n<p>UCF is one of four undefeated teams in the nation this season but was ranked eighth in Sunday\u2019s final College Football Playoff Rankings. The Knights hold the longest active winning streak in the nation at 25 games.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe\u2019re just going to try to go 1-0 one more time.\u201d \u2014 UCF senior Wyatt Miller<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re excited to go against a good opponent [and get] to showcase the talent that we have,\u201d says senior offensive lineman Wyatt Miller.\u201cA lot of people don\u2019t get to go to a bowl game. A lot of teams don\u2019t get to cherish this, especially not a New Year\u2019s Six bowl. We\u2019re excited for this opportunity and especially against an SEC power. We\u2019re grateful for the opportunity, and we\u2019re going to make the most of it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re just going to try to go 1-0 one more time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Knights have fond memories at the Fiesta Bowl, where they upset Baylor in 2014. With that victory, UCF became the youngest school (1963) and football program (1979) to win a BCS bowl game.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed oembed oembed-rich d-flex flex-column align-items-center\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Wyatt &amp; Titus react to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/UCFiesta?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#UCFiesta<\/a> news \ud83c\udf35 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/rVF5zZVDrX\">https:\/\/t.co\/rVF5zZVDrX<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; UCF Football (@UCF_Football) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/UCF_Football\/status\/1069330643056820231?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 2, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Buy Tickets Through UCF<\/h2>\n<p>Tickets for the Fiesta Bowl are available now and fans are encouraged to purchase through UCF for a number of reasons.<\/p>\n<p>The number of tickets UCF sells for a bowl game can help the athletic department present the best possible bowl scenario for the Knights.
