It’s a matchup of Big 12 teams on the gridiron as a pair of teams coming off losses in their previous contest take the field in the Sunflower State. The UCF Knights are on the road as they make the trip to take on the Kansas Jayhawks Saturday afternoon. UCF let one slip away as they were knocked off 36-35 by Baylor at home last Saturday, losing outright as a 7.5-point favorite in the contest. Kansas was blasted 40-14 on the road by #3 Texas last Saturday, failing to cover the line as a 16.5-point underdog. This marks the first time that the two programs have met on the gridiron as FBS opponents, much less as conference foes.
