UCF, one of the conference newcomers for this year, kicks off the Big 12’s football season by hosting Kent State on a Thursday night. UCF had a pretty decent season last year, going 9-5 with a Military Bowl loss to Duke. However, Big 12 competition is going to be a significant ramp up from the AAC schedule they played a season ago. So starting off with a strong performance against Kent State, a MAC program that went 5-7 last year, will be critical. And while I have little doubt UCF should take care of Kent State, the 34.5 point line at the time of this writing feels way overblown.
