1. The defense for UCF will record 5 sacks on the Wildcats

The defense for UCF is better than people think, and they’re out to prove an entire league of naysayers wrong. They will be coming to Bill Snyder Family Stadium in front of 50,000 fans, trying to prove everyone wrong.

This is UCF’s first road game and their first Big 12 game. One player to watch for, particularly on defense, is Josh Celiscar. He is their star pass rusher and currently leads the team with 20 tackles. Celiscar has an opportunity to carve up this already troublesome offensive line that has struggled massively through the first three weeks of the season.

This game will be closer than the experts think. Kansas State will look to bounce back, and UCF will look to continue to build their resume for a bowl game.
