ORLANDO – The UCF football team improved to 2-0 with a win at ECU this weekend, while 11 former Knights saw action in Week 3 of the NFL 2020 season, including Shaquill Griffin, who recorded the fourth interception of his pro career.
Joined by his brother Shaquem, who was pulled up from the practice squad this week, Shaquill finished with 11 tackles and his first pick of the season, as the Seahawks defeated the Cowboys on Saturday. Shaquem had a hurry and a pass break-up in the win.
