3. They are still searching for their first-ever Big 12 victory

The Knights haven’t had the best start to their tenure in the Big 12. On top of their starting quarterback being injured, they have lost their first two games in conference play — including one of the worst losses we’ve seen so far this year.

Baylor once trailed UCF by 28 points last week. Despite UCF being the home team and the Bears having one of the worst seasons of any member in the Big 12, the Knights allowed them to surmount the biggest comeback in Baylor program history. They allowed 29 unanswered and lost 36-35.

UCF has a lot to prove after two subpar contests. They can do that by improving to 4-2 with a win over Kansas.
