UCF is coming off a bye week in Week 3, so they have had time to rest and get ready for what is going to be their biggest test so far this season. The Knights are facing their first power conference opponent as UNC will be coming to the Bounce House for a good old-fashioned Big 12 vs. ACC matchup.

Legendary NFL coach Bill Belichick will be leading his team to Orlando, hoping for a win, but after calling UCF "Central" all week, he may not like the bulletin board material he has given the Knights. It is still until who exactly will be starting at quarterback for UCF.

Cam Fancher has been cleared to practice, but Tayven Jackson has been getting all the work with the starters these last two weeks. Jackson looked very solid against North Carolina A&T and even looked good when he had to be thrown in after a lengthy rain delay against Jacksonville State when Fancher was injured.

Either way, UCF has to get a win against the Tar Heels to give them all the momentum they need before they head to Manhattan in Week 5 to start Big 12 play.

Weather in Orlando, FL

The weather is always the biggest question mark when it comes to playing in Florida. Even though there is rain forecasted all week, Saturday is the one day when there is less than a 25% chance of rain. It will be a high if 89 degrees and a low of 74 degrees, but with a kickoff time of 3:30 p.m., it will be pretty warm, with high humidity. However, with partly cloudy skies, hopefully that should add some shade for the players to cool them down.
