Gus Malzahn and the UCF Knights looked like they were going to improve to 3-1 with a win over a Navy squad that entered Saturday afternoon’s game with an 0-3 record.

The Knights held a 30-17 lead entering the fourth quarter, but the Midshipmen kept chipping away at UCF’s lead.

Late in the fourth quarter, Navy plunged into the end zone to take a 34-30 lead, as you can see below:

That lead would hold, as UCF’s last-ditch effort to march down the field came up short.

Now, the Knights are 2-2 and fans aren’t loving that start from the Malzahn era. Media members and fans took to Twitter to call out the first-year UCF coach:

Can the Knights turn things around? If not, Malzahn’s seat will continue to heat up.
