Central Florida can't stop Clemson at the end.(The Orlando Sentinel)
CLEMSON, S.C._In the end, the team that won needed a fake field goal to do it. The real surprise was that it was Clemson, not UCF.
The Golden Knights permitted 19th-ranked Clemson to survive them Saturday by making just a few more mistakes and by never making the Tigers really dig down at drizzle-filled Death Valley.
Just when it appeared UCF had Clemson's speed and scheme timed perfectly and was poised for a serious threat, Clemson holder Jeff Scott sprinted 22 yards untouched for a decisive score in a 21-13, season-opening victory.
"We didn't play good enough to win because we lost, but we got beat by a stinking fake field goal," UCF quarterback Ryan Schneider said. "We had enough things go wrong that we couldn't move the ball at times, and that was enough."
Clarified tight end Mario Jackson: "We can't beat ourselves and somebody else at the same time."
There were penalties, 11 of them. There were fumbles, six of them, though UCF lost only one. There dropped passes at the first-down marker, three of them.
There were stalls inside Clemson's 20, two of them, resulting in zero points after Alex Haynes lost a fumble and Javier Beorlegui missed a 48-yard field goal.
