UCF needs quicker start, O-line struggles | Five takeaways from Arizona State loss
Any momentum UCF hoped to build from its thrilling, last-second road win at Kansas last week never materialized on Saturday as Arizona State outplayed the Knights at every turn for a disappointing 26-13 home loss.
The Sun Devils didn’t arrive in Orlando until early Saturday afternoon due to travel issues caused by the FAA nationwide ground stop on Friday. Kickoff was pushed back two hours, but UCF seemed out of sorts for most of the game.
It was the second straight home game in which the Knights scored fewer than 14 points, after losing to Baylor, 41-9, on Oct. 30.
UCF (5-5, 3-4 Big 12) has a short week and hosts Iowa State (5-5, 3-4 Big 12) at the Bounce House on Friday (6 p.m., FS1).
