Keown-Robson wins honor
Nicholas Keown-Robson was named Conference USA Offensive Player of the Week for his play during the first week of the season for the men's soccer team.
The sophomore from Auckland, New Zealand, has three goals on the year, including two in the
Knights' 4-0 rout of Florida Atlantic on Monday.
Keown-Robson finished his freshman season with eight goals and six assists. The Knights will head to UNC-Wilmington for the start of a five-match road trip before coming back home Oct. 2 to open C-USA play against SMU.
Former Knight, Idol star to perform in football pre-game; Sept. 11 tribute to honor victims, volunteers
Former UCF football player and American Idol finalist Michael Lynche will be performing the national anthem at the NC State game Saturday.
"Big Mike," as he is known to Idol fans, was in the final four of Season 9.
The St. Petersburg-native played defensive tackle at UCF from 2001-02. As a freshman, he racked up 24 tackles, including eight for a loss, and a sack. Lynche left the Knights just before the beginning of 2003 to tend to family matters.
Saturday is the ninth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. Each fan in attendance will receive an American flag.
A moment of silence in the pre-game will be dedicated to the men and women who died in the attacks, and volunteers from the military and emergency services will be on hand to participate in the activities.
UCF schedules BYU, UConn
Add another high-profile team to the Knights' 2011 football schedule.
The Knights and the BYU Cougars have agreed to play each other in 2011 in Provo, Utah. BYU will travel to Orlando in 2014.
The game will replace the Knights' previously scheduled game at Texas. That game has been rescheduled for 2017.
The Cougars went 11-2 in 2009 and won the Maaco Bowl Las Vegas against Oregon State.
UCF will travel to Connecticut in 2014 to play the Huskies and will get a visit from UConn in 2015 at Bright House Networks Stadium.
The Huskies went 8-5 in '09 and won the PapaJohns.com Bowl against South Carolina.
RB Brinson out for season with torn ACL
Iowa transfer Jeff Brinson tore his ACL during practice drills earlier this week and will miss the remainder of the season.
The backup running back's season-ending injury was announced on coach George O'Leary's weekly radio show, "Lunch with George."
The injury to Brinson thins an already strung-out Knights backfield.
Starting running back Brynn Harvey is expected to miss four games.
Sophomore Jonathan Davis will fill in at first on the depth chart until Harvey's return.
Redshirt-sophomore Brendan Kelly is second on the depth chart.
