Overview

  • Kickoff is Saturday at 4 p.m. ET at Acrisure Bounce House with coverage on ESPN+.
  • At 4-6, UCF must beat Oklahoma State and then win at BYU next week to reach bowl eligibility.
  • Coach Scott Frost says only Tayven Jackson and Davi Belfort are available at quarterback, and the offense has averaged about 13 points across three November games.
  • Oklahoma State is 1-9 and 0-7 in the Big 12 under interim coach Doug Meacham, carrying a prolonged league losing streak and coming off a five-turnover loss to Kansas State.
  • The spread is UCF -14.5 with a forecast near 82 degrees, and the Knights plan to honor 25 seniors plus five fifth-year players.
