Ad
The Cougars have been one of college football's biggest surprises this season, taking the Big 12 by storm with a 7-0 record on the year and a 4-0 record in conference play. BYU mustered a three-point win in a 38-35 showdown versus Oklahoma State last weekend.
UCF has hit a dissapointing skid following their 3-0 start to the season, entering this weekend with a 3-4 record and a 1-3 record in the Big 12 standings. The Knights nearly pulled off a season-altering upset versus the Iowa State Cyclones last week, but fell just short in the 38-35 loss.
With this weekend's Big 12 clash set to be an entertaining one, here are box scores, stats and game summaries from the game.
