WACO, Texas — It’s about an hour before UCF is about to kick off with Baylor and UCF athletics director Terry Mohajir is wrapping up a pregame appearance on the Knights’ radio broadcast.
UCF is more than halfway through its first season under Scott Frost, who returned to the program following an eight-year absence.
Expectations outside the program were low, but that hasn’t dampened the enthusiasm within the walls of the Wayne Densch Center.
“The culture is changing,” Mohajir told a group of reporters on site.
UCF failed to qualify for the postseason last year, snapping a streak of eight straight seasons with a bowl appearance.
