Baylor entered Saturday’s game on the road at UCF at 1–3 on the season, fresh off a lifeless offensive effort at home against No. 3 Texas last Saturday in Waco.
Matters only got worse for the majority of Saturday’s game in Orlando, as UCF used a balanced offensive attack and a defensive score to take a 35–7 lead in the third quarter.
While most teams would have folded, Dave Aranda’s Bears did not. After UCF came out and scored on its first possession of the second half to take the 35–7 lead, Baylor slowly started chipping away.
