UCFs return to FIU set for 12 noon

Don't forget the sunscreen.

UCF's Sept. 7 game at FIU has been selected for a 12 noon kickoff on CBS Sports Network.

The announcement was made on Tuesday when Conference USA released their initial television schedule.

UCF is one of several former C-USA members heading to the American Athletic Conference this upcoming season. FIU, as well as nearby FAU, were among the schools brought in as replacements.

The first Saturday in September will be a busy one in South Florida as University of Miami hosts Florida on the same day.

This will be the third meeting of a four-game series between UCF and FIU with the home team winning the first two contests. In 2011, the Panthers edged UCF 17-10 in front a then-record FIU stadium crowd of 20,205. Last season, the Knights evened the score with a 33-20 victory inside Bright House Networks Stadium.

Yesterday, UCF learned their Sept. 14 game at Penn State would air on the Big Ten Network with a 6 p.m. kickoff.
