UCF is coming off a bye week after a big comeback win over TCU in Week 3, the biggest comeback victory in program history. The Knights will face the Colorado Buffaloes, who are also coming off a big victory in Week 4 where they were able to tie the game in the final seconds on a Hail Mary play.

The Knights are 1-0 in Big 12 play for the first time in program history. The Knights are rolling on offense right now with one of the best running back rooms in the country. They also have the number one offense in the Big 12 with the best-rushing defense as well.

Even though UCF has only played three games this season, they still have almost 200 more rushing yards than the next team and average over 100 more rushing yards per game than the next team in the conference.
