2022 Statistics

Sep. 1: South Carolina State - Plumlee's first career start for the Knights behind center went well. He rushed 15 times for 86 yards (101 if one does not account for sacks), a 5.7 average, and a touchdown. When throwing the football, Plumlee was even more dynamic. 

20 of 31, 64.5%, 308 yards and four touchdown passes. Plumlee's ability to stretch the field was a major reason that UCF was balanced as an offense.

Big plays: With 11:10 remaining in the first quarter, Plumlee connected with Alabama transfer wide receiver Javon Baker for a 12-yard touchdown pass to put the Knights up 7-0. During the drive, Plumlee also had a run for 28 yards.

With 7:17 to go in the first quarter, Plumlee hit tight end Kemore Gamble for a 30-yard touchdown. 

The third touchdown for Plumlee came with 3:10 in the first quarter, a 17-yard touchdown run that saw him break tackles to reach the end zone. During the drive, he connected on a deep ball to wide receiver Ryan O'Keefe that went for 45 yards.

Speedy running back Johnny Richardson found the end zone himself after catching a short Plumlee pass, with this one coming from 18 yards out with 5:32 remaining in the third quarter. 

Plumlee's final touchdown of the evening was a 21-yard strike to tight end Zach Marsh-Wojan.
