What is a moral victory?
According to Google, it is “a defeat that can be interpreted as a victory on moral terms, for example, because the defeated party defended their principles.”In other words, it’s finding the silver lining in a loss and juicing it up exponentially. The UCF Knights football program has had a long history with the moral victory.
It really got going back in 1997, when the then UCF Golden Knights were still an independent fledgling program in Division I-A (now FBS) and opened the season with three road games: at Ole Miss, at South Carolina, and at 6th-ranked Nebraska. UCF held their own each time.
