Israel relishing senior season at the helm
Four years after arriving at UCF, the quarterback has overcome many obstacles to lead the Knights.
At first, he thought his career was over.
That's what UCF senior quarterback Kyle Israel said first raced through his mind as he was helped off the field in the opening minutes of the Knights' 36-20 victory over UTEP last Saturday.
Only a few minutes before, Israel had taken just his second snap in probably the biggest game of his career. But when he heard his knee pop as he was driven to the Bright House Networks Stadium turf, nothing about his three-year journey to get to that moment mattered.

His knee throbbing and his mind darting, he was thinking only the worst.
