The UCF Knights were minutes away from its biggest football win in a long time, leading by three possession at No. 20 Houston.
Alas, the Knights (3-2, 1-1 Big 12) could not thwart the Cougars’ comeback and UCF’s seasons-long road losing skid continued. They will look to snap it on Oct. 11 when they visit Oklahoma State (3-1, 1-0) for and second-straight morning kickoff in the Central time zone.
Keyone Jenkins continues to fill in at quarterback for UCF with Alonza Barnett nursing a hamstring injury. Jenkins was more than serviceable against Houston, going 23-for-35 passing for 235 yards, a touchdown and an interception. But Knights remain the worst offense in the Big 12, averaging only 350 yards per game.

But Oklahoma State, led by QB Drew Mestemaker, leads the Big 12 in passing. That’s a hard road to hoe for the Knights.
