ORLANDO, Fla. — The UCF Knights football team arrived in Arizona Thursday days before they face off against the LSU Tigers in the Fiesta Bowl on New Year’s Day.
The undefeated team caught buses from the Wayne Densch Sports Center near the CFE Arena on the UCF campus before leaving on a charter flight to Arizona.
The Knights ended their regular season ranked in the top 10 college football teams of 2018.

They also ended the season without their star quarterback.
[ Quarterback McKenzie Milton suffered a knee injury during UCF's game against USF in November. ]
Milton’s teammates said the injury has only pushed the team to work harder in honor of their fellow Knight.
On Thursday, Milton boarded the bus with his teammates on the way to Arizona to support the team from the sidelines.
