Cure Bowl 2016, UCF vs Arkansas State live stream: Watch online
Live stream and how to watch the University of Central Florida Knights (6-6) vs Arkansas State Red Wolves (7-5) in the 2016 Cure Bowl on TV and online on Saturday, December 17.
The 2016 AutoNation Cure Bowl takes place this Saturday, December 17, in Orlando, Florida. This year’s match up pits the University of Central Florida Knights against the Arkansas State Red Wolves in a battle between the American Athletics Conference and the Sun Belt Conference. This is the second meeting of the two teams, with UCF owning the sole win.
UCF went 2-2 in November and lost their final two games of the season. The Knights’ defense is #40 in the nation and #3 in red zone defense. The team is a tale of two groups, with the younger half of the team leading in scoring while the experiences upperclassmen lead in tackles. That might prove challenging for Arkansas State given their issues holding onto the ball earlier this season.
It has been an uphill battle for Arkansas State this season, but the fact that they managed to pull off a 2nd place finish in the Sun Belt Conference is enough to get them into the Cure Bowl. The Red Wolves started the 2016 season with an 0-4 skid after struggling to control the ball either with fumbles or turnovers. The losing streak came to a halt with a 27-26 win over Georgia Southern which led to a six game winning streak that was enough to help the Red Wolves earn a share of the Sun Belt title. This year’s trip to the Cure Bowl marks Arkansas State’s six straight bowl appearances.
