Editor’s Note: This is the second installment of a 12-part series highlighting UCF’s 2024 football opponents.

Sam Houston has endured similar struggles to UCF while making a major transition to football in 2023.

The Knights waited until Nov. 4 to get into the Big 12 win column; Sam Houston celebrated that same afternoon by upsetting Kennesaw State for its first victory since moving up to the Football Bowl Subdivision. Both programs have also taken that momentum from there, finishing with three wins apiece in their last four games.
