How UCF football's 'juice squad' could determine outcome at Pitt
The UCF Knights rushed for 360 yards and seven touchdowns in their season-opening win over Bethune-Cookman. Can that continue against Pittsburgh?
UCF's "juice squad" of running backs, including Taevion Swint, Duke Watson, Landen Chambers, and Agyeman Addae, played a pivotal role in the Knights' 73-6 victory over Bethune-Cookman. Swint and Watson made their first running plays of the season, with Watson completing a 64-yard touchdown run. The group, known for their unique skill sets, faced a formidable challenge in their upcoming game against Pittsburgh, ranked eighth nationally against the run in 2025.
UCF's offensive line has improved, and Frost believes the team will "hit back a lot more" than in previous seasons. The backfield depth and speed of the squad have been key factors in UCF's running game, which struggled during the team's final three road games last season.
