UCF will be right at home in 2007

UCF officially announced its football opponents for 2007 on Monday, and the Golden Knights will play six home games in consecutive seasons for the first time since moving to Division I-A.

Most of the dates are to be determined. But UCF knows it will christen its on-campus stadium Sept.15 against Texas.

Other home games include Conference USA East Division foes Marshall and Memphis. Two of the three division crossover games against SMU, Tulsa and UTEP will be at home, too. The sixth home game is against Louisiana-Lafayette (likely on Sept.29).

Road games will be against one C-USA West team, East Carolina, Southern Miss, UAB, USF (likely on Sept.8) and North Carolina State.

UCF's previously scheduled trip to Florida was replaced with the game at NC State, the first of a home-and-home series for the teams. Instead, UCF will play at Florida sometime before 2010.
