SATURDAY
// 2:30 PM CT // FS1
• A battle of two teams that are looking to right the ship and get bowl eligible by winning three of their last four games. UCF started the season 3-0 before losing five straight. Arizona has lost their last four after a Sept. 28 win vs. Utah.

He has passed for over 280 yards in three of his last four games – including a 383-yard and 4 TD explosion against Rutgers.

A pair of 4-4 teams that are looking to pull within one win of a bowl game.
