Saturday, 5:30 p.m. CT, ESPN+

UCF will be without its star quarterback, John Rhys Plumlee, for several weeks due to a leg injury. However, Ole Miss transfer Timmy McClain should have no issue taking down an FCS school at home. Once the team adjusts, it’ll get out of hand pretty quickly.

Final Score Prediction: 31-10, UCF

Big 12 Football Record: 5-0
