UCF has started off the season hot as a complete team that is looking really good. However, they did play New Hampshire and Sam Houston to start the season, so they are going to face some true tests in the coming weeks.

This week UCF will take on TCU for the first time in program history, which is the storyline for the Knights this season. Half of UCF's schedule is filled with teams they have never faced before, which includes all four of the conference newcomers this year.

The Knights are looking great right now, especially on offense with their prolific run game. The running back room could possibly be the best in the country right now with over 800 rushing yards in two games. UCF running back RJ Harvey is currently top 10 in rushing yards this season with 268 and six rushing touchdowns, which is the second most in college football.
