Two-Minute Drill for Oct. 3, 2024: UCF plays at the Gators, Bucs play at Atlanta on TNF

The Florida Gators will host UCF at the Swamp for the third time on Saturday at 7:45 p.m.

In the first two meetings, in 1999 and 2006, the Gators won big.

However, the last time the two teams met, at the Gasparilla Bowl in December 2021, it was UCF that got the better of the Gators.

For USA Today Network coverage on both teams, check out the Gainesville Sun at gainesville.com for the Gators, and the Daytona Beach News-Journal at news-journalonline.com for the Knights.

Here's some of Gainesville's reporting:
