Rejuvenated UCF football team looks ahead to Baylor Knights looking for program’s 3rd all-time road win in Big 12 play
ORLANDO, Fla. – The UCF football team, fresh off a bye week, is happier and healthier heading into the stretch run of the season.
The Knights earned their first Big 12 win of the year with a convincing 45-13 win over West Virginia on Oct, 18. That Homecoming victory gave players a little extra bounce during their bye week practices, and now the focus shifts to a Baylor team that, like UCF, is looking for its fifth win of the season.
