Davis threw two touchdowns to Kelvin Bolden and one each to Johdrick Morris and DeAndre Brown, as he helped the Golden Eagles rally from an early 14-0 deficit.
Freshman Jeff Godfrey threw for 189 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions for the Golden Knights (7-3, 5-1 C-USA), who entered the game ranked for the first time in school history.
UCF jumped out to the early lead thanks to a 1-yard touchdown run from Godfrey and a 2-yard plunge from Brian Watters.
