'Horns and Knights clash in Orlando

Click on our Sword to read more

The sixth-ranked Texas Longhorns head to Orlando this weekend for a non-conference matchup with the UCF Knights.

Texas is coming off a 34-13 victory over a strong TCU squad, and the Longhorns were certainly more impressive in that tilt than they were in a 21-13 triumph over Arkansas State to open the campaign. It is hard not to look ahead to the much-anticipated October 6th meeting with Oklahoma, as the Big 12 powerhouses are both expected to be undefeated heading into that clash.

UCF has reason to enter this matchup with confidence, as the Knights opened their season on September 1st with a 25-23 road victory over NC State of the ACC. The victory was the first for UCF over a BCS conference team in seven years. Despite that strong effort, the Knights enter Saturday's tilt at home as clear underdogs.
