UCF Knights, fans relish win and upcoming trip to Liberty Bowl

 
A human sea of black and gold went wild Saturday, stomping feet, doing the wave and rattling a new stadium as the University of Central Florida walloped Tulsa to win its first conference championship.

"UCF! UCF!" the crowd of about 44,000 cheered at the moment of victory. "Rush the field! Rush the field!"

They didn't, but fans at Bright House Networks Stadium created a deafening roar as they celebrated and sang Queen's victory anthem "We Are the Champions."

The win means UCF is bound for the Dec. 29 Liberty Bowl in Memphis, Tenn., to face a Southeastern Conference team and attempt another school first: a postseason bowl win.
