In this episode, I break down where UCF failed in Manhattan, why Taven Jackson must stay healthy for this season to have any real chance, and what Scott Frost needs to do to get this team back on track. Kansas presents another Big 12 litmus test, and for UCF to prove they belong, the offensive line has to take ownership. Allowing a 35% pressure rate against Kansas State is unacceptable, and it showed when the offense fell apart without proper protection. If UCF can’t fix its identity in the trenches, this season could spiral quickly. But it’s not all doom and gloom. The Knights still average 437 yards per game and have the playmakers to put points on the board. Kansas gives up 376 yards per game defensively, meaning there will be opportunities if UCF protects its quarterback. This game could define UCF’s 2025 season, and maybe even Scott Frost’s return.
