The battle of the I-4 corridor comes to a head Thursday night as the Bulls and Knights meet up on the gridiron to kick off ESPN’s Rivalry Week.
The matchup takes place at Orlando’s Bright House Networks Stadium, giving the Knights a home field advantage. The Bulls, however, have beaten the Knights four out of the six games played since the rivalry began.
Heading into the competition, the Bulls do have a better season record at 7-4. The Knights are 0-11 for the season, meaning they’re probably pretty hungry for a win.
