After a rocky start at the quarterback position in Week 1 for UCF, the Knights are hoping for a strong outing against Sam Houston in Week 2. UCF is set to take on the Bearkats for the first time in program history at home in Orlando.

UCF will take on yet another smaller school, but Sam Houston is at least an FBS opponent. UCF will showcase their prolific running back room yet again led by hometown kid RJ Harvey, who helped add to UCF's 454 rushing yards against New Hampshire.

There are high hopes that quarterback KJ Jefferson will look more efficient and comfortable in the offensive system in Week 2, showing why he was the Big 12 Preseason Newcomer of the Year.
