UCF Knights football faces a critical crossroads after their shocking 7-0 shutout loss to Baylor. Can Scott Frost's squad salvage bowl eligibility against Houston in the historic Space Game?

Mike G and senior writer Andrew Gluco from UCFNightZone.com dissect what went catastrophically wrong against Baylor, from defensive breakdowns to offensive play-calling failures. The conversation examines quarterback Taven Jackson's worst performance of the season, going 18-for-33 with zero touchdowns and two interceptions—UCF's lowest scoring output since 2015. With the Knights sitting at 4-4, the analysis breaks down realistic paths to six wins, including must-win scenarios against Houston and Oklahoma State. The discussion also explores the storied UCF-Houston rivalry, featuring memorable Space Game moments from goal-line stands to fumbles out of the end zone.
