But the festive pageantry didn’t intimidate the UCF Knights, which handed the Cougars’ their first conference loss of the 2020 season in 44-21 fashion. Expected to be a high-scoring affair in Houston, the abundance of touchdowns didn’t make an appearance until the fourth quarter. But UCF’s explosive offense averaged nearly 12 yards per play, and the Houston defense was no match in the end.
