Last week, the UCF defense faced the challenge of Texas' seemingly never-ending well of skill-position athletes. This week against Memphis, the Knights must deal with the unpredictability of Coach Tommy West's offense.

Under West, the Tigers have made a living confusing defenses with spread formations and gadget plays. It's why Knights' defensive coordinator John Skladany said he is more nervous about this week. "It just seems like so much more is riding on every week now," Skladany said. "This week is very big for us. So we're very excited. Everybody knows what kind of battle we're in for and people are going to be playing lights out for both teams, I think."

Skladany said West's offense still has plenty of weapons, even with RB DeAngelo Williams now in the NFL and a number of injuries to disrupt the lineup.
