The UCF Knights gave the Oklahoma Sooners a surprising amount of trouble on Saturday, and they flashed a bit of cockiness while doing it.
UCF took the lead against Oklahoma more than once during the second quarter of Saturday’s game, though the highlight play was an 86-yard touchdown reception for Knights receiver Javon Baker.
Part of the reason the play was such a highlight? Baker blew a kiss toward the Oklahoma sideline as he sprinted for the score.
Not sure you can be more wide open than Javon Baker was on this EIGHTY-SIX yard breakaway touchdown.

The move left Oklahoma coach Brent Venables livid. Baker was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct, but the penalty yardage was assessed on the extra point and did not negate the score.

Celebrations like this will always get flagged, and they’ll probably get you fined in the NFL, too. It ultimately won’t impact the game much in this case, so Baker has a pretty great memory from this game either way.
