Piening scores late touchdown as UCF stuns Kansas 33-32

LAWRENCE, Kan. -- , Caden Piening reeled in a 6-yard reception with three seconds left on the clock to lift UCF over Kansas 33-32 on Saturday. A 10-play, 73-yard drive took the Knights to the 6-yard line in just under one minute of clock, and Alonza Barnett III found Piening at the left pylon for the score . After a replay review, the call on the field was upheld, ending a 12-game road losing streak for UCF. “There was no doubt on the sideline that we weren’t going to go out and win that game,” Piening told reporters. The Knights (5-4, 3-3 Big 12) built up a 19-point lead early in the third quarter, but Kansas chipped away and eventually took the lead at the 1:06 mark after 25 unanswered points. Barnett III, who started and played his first full game since returning from a hamstring injury, completed 18 of his 31 attempts for 251 yards, including 65 yards on the final drive.
