A massive contingent of Cougar fans swarmed FBC Mortgage Stadium, essentially turning it into a home game for the team in royal blue. Based on a visual estimation of the crowd, between 30–40% of the attendees were supporting the Cougars. But they were much louder than their numbers, often being as loud—or louder—than the UCF fan base. In fact, UCF’s marching band had to start playing during a break in order to drown out a massive “B-Y-U” chant.
