Aftermath and affect on UCF[]
This game was a huge victory for the UCF Knights as they defeated in-state foe Florida for the first time. This game would eventually be known as the Sun Shine Statement by the Knights, and would spark the rivalry between the two schools. Both would meet again in 2024 with Florida, seeking revenge against the Knights 24-13 in "The Swamp." Florida leads the all-time series 3-1 over the Knights since 1998.
