ORLANDO -- Jeramy Devane and his University of Central Florida teammates are fighting an urge.

In helmets and pads under the hot August sun, Devane and the Knights practice most days in the shadow of the glimmering new, $63 million Bright House Networks Stadium. But they don't play there until Sept. 15 -- after a game Sept. 1 at North Carolina State.

They're trying not to look ahead to the home opener against No. 4-rated Texas.

"It's kind of hard not to," said Devane, a starting guard who grew up in Ormond Beach and graduated from Seabreeze High School.
