John Rhys Plumlee has UCF fans buzzing on social media after big start

John Rhys Plumlee in Gus Malzahn’s offense was must-see football this year, and it’s been as advertised so far.

UCF is hosting South Carolina State Thursday night, and Plumlee, the former Ole Miss quarterback, is off to a huge start.

The Knights have an early 21-0 lead, thanks to the dual-threat quarterback. He’s already thrown 2 touchdown passes and rushed for another one. The first touchdown pass was to former Alabama receiver Javon Baker for 7 yards, and the second came on a 25-yard pass to former Gators tight end Kenmore Gamble. Plumlee rushed for the Knights third touchdown.

Plumlee’s hot start has everyone buzzing for his Heisman candidacy just one quarter into the season.

Idk how good he’s going to be against good teams but John Rhys Plumlee is so fun

I know it’s barely a college level football team UCF is playing, but I am already a big fan of the way John Rhys Plumlee plays.

Thanks, Ole Miss.
