UCF led 17-7 at halftime after Holman hit J.J. Worton with a 5-yard scoring pass and Josh Reese with a 77-yard bomb. The UCF sophomore quarterback opened the second half with an 84-yard scoring drive that he finished off with a 25-yard pass to Breshad Perriman.
Dontravious Wilson, who had 17 carries for 87 yards, closed out the Knights scoring on a 1-yard plunge.
Tulsa's only score came two plays after Matt Linscott recovered a fumbled punt at the UCF 27. Keevan Lucas made a one-handed catch, while rolling on his back for an 8-yard scoring play.
