UCF unveiled its highly anticipated "Mission VI" uniforms boldly going where no college football team's style has gone before the "vast void of deep space." That's the inspiration for the color and the "Into the Darkness" theme. Canaveral blue numbers, which show the transit method for detecting an exoplanet, and the words "SPACEU" contrast the black jerseys. The Knights (4-1) informally known as the Citronauts this week will wear these threads Thursday

This should be an easy one for the Knights. Temple ranks near the bottom in almost every offensive category
