How Chick-fil-A Uses A Football Quiz To Entertain And Engage Fans
Chick-fil-A sponsors the annual Peach Bowl. They post a quiz on their site the week before the game. It features trivia about the two teams and their respective schools. I’m
the lucky guy who gets to illustrate it. It’s one of my favorite assignments.
The 2017 Peach Bowl was played on January 1, 2018. The University of Central Florida Knights defeated the Auburn Tigers 34-27 to cap an undefeated season.
The quiz features a header image to pull people in. See how peaches inspire harmony and good fellowship.
The 2017 quiz had 10 questions. Here are the five I liked best, with the correct answer in bold type. 
Who was the first University of Central Florida player to be selected in the first round of the NFL Draft?
A. Blake Bortles
B. Bernard Ford
C. Rick Hamilton
D. Daunte Culpepper
UCF’s QB Daunte Culpepper became the school’s first-ever first round pick in the NFL Draft, when the Minnesota Vikings selected him as the 11th overall pick in 1999. Knights wideout Bernard Ford was selected in the third round (1988), as was linebacker Rick Hamilton (1993). Like Culpepper, QB Blake Bortles was also selected in the first round (2014).
During the 2017 season, Auburn defeated two #1-ranked teams. Name the only other team in college football history to defeat two #1-ranked teams
in the same season.
A. Ohio State Buckeyes
B. Florida Gators
C. Texas Longhorns
D. USC Trojans
This past 2017 season, Auburn defeated Georgia and Alabama when they were ranked No. 1 in the College Football Playoff rankings. In 2008, the Florida Gators defeated two No. 1’s: Alabama in the SEC Championship and the Oklahoma Sooners in the BCS National Championship.
Before Knightro, UCF had a few other mascots for its athletics program. Which of the following was NEVER the school’s official mascot?
A. The Citronaut
B. Pauley the Panther
C. Sir Wins-A-Lot
D. Puff the Dragon
Although the panther is the official animal for the State of Florida, it was never a mascot at UCF. Instead, the university turned to unique characters, like The Citronaut — complete with an orange (yes, the fruit) for a body and a greenish head adorned with an astronaut’s helmet.
What are the names of the two eagles that perform the War Eagle flight at Auburn’s home stadium?
A. Spirit and Nova
B. Toomer and Tiger
C. Steller and Strength
D. Victor and Triumph
Perhaps one of the most recognized pre-game traditions in all of college football is Auburn’s War Eagle flight. Nova, also titled War Eagle VII, took his first flight in Jordan-Hare stadium in 2004. Spirit, a bald eagle, took her first flight in 2002.
Legend has it that if a UCF student sets foot here, that person will never graduate. Name the spot.
A. Pegasus seal
B. Reflecting Pond
C. The Dungeon
D. UCF’s conserved land
The legend goes that if an undergraduate student steps on the Pegasus seal in the Student Union, they will not graduate. Fortunately, ropes surround the seal, preventing accidental missteps.

After reading this wunnaful comment, I ran into the end zone, spiked a bag of Reeses, and did a cute little boogie dance. And… I was careful to step to the side so I didn’t trample the Reeses when I danced. Now I’m eating the Reeses and reading your comment over and over. Life is good… Thanks, RK– and the pom-pom was emphatically implied!! 😋😊

I appreciate that kind comment, thank you. FWIW: I’ve been drawing for a long time. Every once in awhile I’ll come across some ancient work, and I cringe. No joke– I was pretty bad.
Somebody (I’ve seen it attributed to different people) once said that every artist has 10,000 bad drawings in them– and you have to get them out. Sounds demoralizing, I know, but you have to keep going and not think about it too much. At some point you’ll start to get better, and it will all be worth it– promise. Good luck, and thanks again for stopping by!
