Matt Murschel, UCF Knights writer: BYU 35, UCF 14
UCF must secure a victory at No. 11 BYU on Saturday to qualify for a bowl game for the first time since the 2023 season. While this might sound straightforward, the Knights face a tough challenge; they haven’t beaten a double-digit favorite since their stunning upset against No. 7 Auburn in the 2018 Peach Bowl. To make matters worse, UCF is currently on an eight-game road losing streak, with its last away win coming against TCU on September 14, 2024.
