ORLANDO, Fla. -- Arkansas State and UCF certainly have a lot in common heading into Saturdays AutoNation Cure Bowl matchup.Both are led by their defenses, have developing high-octane offenses and have made the postseason after impressive turn-around seasons.The Knights are 6-6 and back in the bowl mix after coming off a frustrating 0-12 season in 2015. Arkansas State finished the season strong by winning seven of its final eight games and earning a share of the Sun Belt Conference after beginning this season 0-4.That doesnt happen unless a whole teams buys in and are working together, first-year UCF coach Scott Frost said of Arkansas State. I think thats probably happened on both campuses. So this is exciting game for both teams and I think both teams have some similarities.The two programs are meeting in the second Cure Bowl, which was started to bring more awareness to breast cancer. But with this years matchup, it could easily be dubbed the Comeback Bowl.Both coaches have praised their respective programs for their resolve. The Red Wolves (7-5) appeared on the verge of having their run of bowl appearances come to an end. But they will be appearing in a school-record six straight bowl.It is hard to really explain just how proud of this group I am, Arkansas State coach Blake Anderson said. I dont know really a way to get it across to you that makes a lot of sense. There just arent many teams that go through what we went through and then have the result that we had.Frost shares that sentiment after taking over a Knights program that fell on hard times under George OLeary last season. He came in from Oregon with a new energy and excitement that produced results on the field.Aside from a blowout loss at Michigan and a 17-point season-ending defeat at American Athletic Conference rival USF, the 6-6 Knights were a handful of plays from a possible 10-win season.We had a chance to win a bunch of games this year and we won enough to get to a bowl game, but I expect our young players to enjoy their success and use this as a springboard to keep on improving, Frost said. Were on the right track and were going to keep taking steps in that direction.---Some other things to watch in the AutoNation Cure Bowl matchup between UCF and Arkansas State:SACK TANDEM: Arkansas State enters the game tied for 12th in the country with 37 sacks on the season, thanks in large part to the defensive end duo of senior Chris Odom and junior JaVon Rolland-Jones. Odom led the Red Wolves with 12 + sacks this season, while Roland-Jones -- the Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year -- had 11 +. Combined, the two had 36 tackles for losses for the season.FRESHMAN SENSATION: Since taking over as the starter in the third game of the season against Maryland, freshman quarterback McKenzie Milton has been a stabilizing presence for the Knights. He is completing 60 percent of his passes and has a QB efficiency rating of 114.33.RED WOLVES REBOUND: The Red Wolves enter the Cure Bowl having won at least a share of the Sun Belt championship in five of the last six seasons, but theyve lost their last two bowl games. After opening this season 0-4, Arkansas State rebounded with a six-game winning streak and victories in seven of its last eight games to end the regular season.EASY MONEY: Money Hunter had only one interception in the Arkansas State secondary this season, but the senior did what he knows best with it -- returning it 46 yards for a touchdown in a win over New Mexico State.IMPACT PLAYER: It seemed like a reach when the new coaching staff decided to move junior Shaquem Griffin from safety to outside linebacker this season. But after being named AAC Defensive Player of the Year it seems like a great decision. He has 11 sacks this season, which ranks him 12th in the nation. Griffin also ranks 10th nationally in tackles-for-loss with 19.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.orgGrey Ultra Boost 2018 .

The team announced a season-ticket pricing plan for 2017 with increases from 6 to 31 percent.Its not easy to raise ticket prices, said senior vice president of sales and marketing Colin Faulkner during the Winter Meetings on Monday. We are really sensitive to the loyalty and support of our fans, but at the same time the value of our tickets right now is far exceeding the current pricing levels. Its important for us to realize some of that value and invest it back into the team and into the facility.In other words, instead of allowing season-ticket holders to see huge returns on the resale market, the Cubs are simply increasing the face value so they get some value out of the demand. According to the team, the secondary market exceeded face value for regular-season games by 96 percent. That went up to 670 percent in the playoffs and a whopping 1,206 percent above face value in the World Seriees.ddddddddddddhe team says the marquee nature of their interleague home games played a part in the increases. The Cubs host the New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays while taking on the St. Louis Cardinals in three separate weekend series.Last season the team had five tiers of ticket pricing depending on the opponent, but in 2017 theyll add one more tier (Diamond) for three specific games: Opening Day against the Los Angeles Dodgers, May 6 against the Yankees and July 22 against the Cardinals.Club boxes will see the biggest increase (31 percent), while upper-deck box infield seats will see the smallest (6 percent). The average ticket increase will be 19.5 percent.The Cubs stressed that more than 25 percent of their home games fall under the lowest two ticket pricing tiers, and that they had a 98 percent renewal in 2016. The team says it has 109,000 people on the waiting list for season tickets. ' ' '
