ORLANDO, Fla. (UCFAthletics.com) - Saturday's update on the UCF football team. The Knights return to their normal schedule today as they will practice from 3:15-5:30 p.m., and it will be the second-straight day in shoulder pads.

News

-On Friday, UCF moved its practice to the evening, and donned the shoulder pads for the first time in the preseason.

-With the offensive line paving the way, running back Storm Johnson dazzled early in Friday's session, consistently running by the defense.

-During the second half of practice, the defense stepped up and forced numerous incompletions before Breshad Perriman made a diving snag from a Blake Bortles pass to wake up the offense a bit.

-At the end of practice, director of player personnel Drew Hughes topped director of player development Kristy Belden and defensive graduate assistant Mark Cammack in a sprint from sideline to sideline in a version of the UCF Olympics.
