The opening Thursday night of the college football season usually provides some twists and turns.
There were none of the sort in Orlando. Gus Malzahn’s Central Florida made light work of the Kent State Golden Flashes, 56-6.
It was 28-3 at halftime and the Golden Knights had outgained Kent State 357 to 99.
John Rhys Plumlee was 23 of 31 for 305 and three touchdowns, but did throw two interceptions for UCF.
The Golden Flashes will make their way to Fayetteville next weekend. Kickoff is tentatively slated for 3 p.m. on SEC Network.
Other games of interest included Utah handling Florida with ease and Missouri taking care of business against South Dakota.
