2. McKenzie Milton is still good

Yes, I know that may be the understatement of the year but it doesn’t make it any less true. With all the talk about other quarterbacks, it seems people overlook what Milton has accomplished. He has led UCF to 18 consecutive victories including one over SEC power Auburn.

Milton was 18 of 34 for 278 yards tonight with two touchdowns. So far this season Milton has thrown for 1223 yards and 13 touchdowns with only three interceptions. Milton is quietly putting together another solid season in 2018.

While other quarterbacks get a lot more attention such as a quarterbacks in Tuscaloosa or Morgantown you could argue no one is more of a consistent winner that Milton.

Next week Milton will have a substantially tougher assignment as UCF has to take on a high power offense in the Memphis Tigers. Milton will have his work cut out for him to outscore the Memphis offense.
