Florence is expected to be a Category 4 storm when it slams into the East Coast and could stall over the Carolinas and Virginia, dumping extensive rain and causing inland flooding. Given the conditions and emergency response required, it seems extremely unlikely a football game between the Knights and Tar Heels would be played in Chapel Hill, N.C. "I know is that we're preparing and then practicing like we're working in game week mode," UCF coach Josh Heupel said Monday when asked of the status of this week's game. "It's something that is completely out of our control. "We're obviously concerned with everybody in that area with the potential of the hurricane moving in. You're always concerned about people's safety first and foremost, but I have no idea what's going to ultimately end up happening with the hurricane itself, but also the game so you just go ahead and prepare as is." )t'' - "University of North Carolina Department of Athletics staff will be closely monitoring developments with Hurricane Florence and will make decisions about the Sept. 15 home football game against UCF and other athletic events based on consultation with the appropriate state, local and campus authorities," the statement read. "Decisions will be based on the safety of the teams, officials, fans and others traveling to attend the game?' UCF and North Carolina do not share a bye week and it may prove difficult to reschedule the game this season.

Senior defensive end Titus Davis said preparing for a game that could be impacted by weather is nothing new to the Knights. Senior linebacker Pat Jasinski said it would be unfortunate if the game is ultimately canceled. UNC officials released a statement Sunday saying they were in touch with UCF and had not yet decided how to handle sporting events scheduled this week on campus. tCl 011q1i1C1 iUh;,141141 Ir. White said. Threet said:"Throughout the month we send weekly updates that let teams know who is currently in the lead. We also track and recognize those teams where every member is consistently hitting their goals for daily steps, even if they are not winning in overall steps." Sidney Springer, a junior general education major from Delta, said: "I started tracking my steps for two reasons: one, I could get daily points that built up to a discount at Dick's Sporting Goods. Second, because of the step challenge." Springer said she participates in the step challenges because it is fun and helps her keep her motivation up. "These challenges make it fun to stay active," Springer said. "Anything that promotes an active life style is worth it, to me at least." Springer said she and her friends did the step challenge together and took their competitiveness to a whole new level. Springer said she would participate in a step challenge the school puts on if there are prizes for the winners. Threet said: "I think it would be so fun to have a step challenge that included students. However, they take a lot of coordinating so we would need to have additional help facilitating." BY KATRINA KELLER Step challenges are becoming widely popular, with competitions being conducted in different areas. Dixie State University holds a step challenge twice a year that staff and faculty can participate in.

Strength of schedule is used to help determine College Football Playoff rankings, which dictate spots in playoff semifinals and lucrative Access Bowls. UCF is expected to battle Mountain West power Boise State for the Group of 5 schools' sole guaranteed Access Bowl bid a year after the Knights beat Auburn in the Peach Bowl.
