UCF Knights face a must-win senior night showdown against Oklahoma State, but the real battle might be happening off the field. Can Scott Frost keep his roster intact as star players field lucrative NIL offers from rival programs?

Mike G and James Duncan break down the Knights' injury-depleted depth chart, with quarterbacks Jacurri Brown and Cam Fancher sidelined, leaving Tayven Jackson as the lone healthy starter. The discussion reveals UCF's troubling pattern of losing every competitive game this season while dominating weaker opponents. Key defensive standout Nyjalik Kelly is reportedly receiving significant transfer portal interest, highlighting the NIL inflation crisis where player values have jumped from $100,000 to $500,000 in a single year. The hosts analyze why building strong culture and community matters more than marginal financial increases, sharing insights from RJ Harvey's decision to stay despite $700,000-plus offers elsewhere.

Discover why this Oklahoma State matchup could determine UCF's bowl eligibility and which undisclosed player is taking emergency quarterback reps in practice.
