UCF and Baylor have met only one other time: the 2014 Fiesta Bowl. UCF won 52-42, giving the program its first New Year’s Six bowl victory. The team from that season will be recognized during the first quarter on Saturday.
The Knights are still looking for their first Big 12 conference win. Last week, the Knights fell on the road to Kansas State, 44-31. Quarterback Timmy McClain threw for 264 yards and three touchdowns.
Wide receiver Kobe Hudson had 138 receiving yards and two touchdowns in last week’s game. He leads the conference in receiving yards (463) and is ranked fifth nationally.
In facing Baylor this weekend, UCF will play the last two conference champions in back-to-back games (Baylor, 2021 and Kansas State, 2022).
UCF’s all-time home record is 80-24 and ranks in the top 15 in the nation with the best at-home record.
