The Golden Knights rallied in the second half, and came out with a 38–31 victory. Daunte Culpepper threw for 320 yards and four touchdowns, and ran for a touchdown, but also lost a fumble. Culpepper notably moved into first place all-time in school history in career passing yards. Bowling Green had one last chance, scoring a touchdown with just over a minute to go. They attempted an onside kick, but Charles Lee recovered it and UCF ran out the clock to secure the win.
