UCF football set for high-scoring showdown with Houston
UCF’s defense is pushing to build on its recent success against Tulane, but the Knights are well aware they need to score a lot of points to beat a prolific Houston offense Saturday.
Las Vegas oddsmakers project the teams will combine to score 82.5 points, and it wouldn’t be shocking if the Knights and the Cougars beat that tally. The game, which will kick off at 2 p.m. and be streamed on ESPN+, could easily span four hours.
This is a showdown between UCF, which boasts the No. 1 passing offense at the Football Bowl Subdivision level (435.6 yards per game), and Houston, which isn’t far behind at No. 14 nationally (321 yards per game).
