UCF

Cincinnati leaned on defense, discipline, and flawless special teams to grind out a 20–11 win over UCF at Nippert Stadium, extending their win streak to five and staying unbeaten in Big 12 play. Despite Cam Fancher’s 108 rushing yards and late heroics, UCF’s penalties and inefficiency proved too much to overcome.

UCF steamrolled North Carolina 34-9 at the Bounce House, riding Tayven Jackson’s career day and a suffocating defense to a 3-0 start. The Knights dominated from start to finish, sending a warning shot to the rest of the Big 12.
