The scoreboard might have told one story, but Nyjalik Kelly wasn’t ready to say UCF’s defense had played its best football. The Knights dismantled North Carolina A&T 68-7 last Saturday night, holding the Aggies to just 200 total yards and nearly pitching a shutout, but Kelly, who had a first-quarter strip sack that turned into a touchdown, said there’s still work to be done.
