Cincinnati's Gunner Kiel perfect in overwhelming victory over UCF
Gunner Kiel threw the football equivalent of a perfect game Saturday.
The Cincinnati quarterback was 15-of-15 from the pocket as the Bearcats diced UCF 52-7 at home.
It's only UCF, and the Knights are now 0-9. But Kiel was on a different level, throwing for 319 yards and five touchdowns without an interception in what was easily the best game of his career.
He also accomplished a few notable feats.
The junior had a quarterback rating of 388.64, just off the single-game record of 403.4.
Kiel also threw the most completions without a pick of any FBS player in the last 20 years.

It's tough to gauge whether Kiel will ever perform on such a remarkable level again, but he still has one more season at Cincinnati.
