UCF has advantages on both sides of the ball against an FAU team that -- thus far -- has proven to be a shell of itself from a year ago. The Knights have allowed 17 total points (granted, against UConn and South Carolina State), while the Owls have given up at least 27 points to every team they have faced. UCF may have to put up with a couple early FAU scores, but the Knights' defense should lock down and cruise to a three-score (or more) win at home.
What a matchup in Week 4 of college football as two high-octane teams meet Friday night. A lot will be made about both offenses, but the focus should be on the defenses. So far this season, FAU has had issues keeping teams out of the end zone, and giving up the big play as well. The Owls also can't stop the run. Yes, the numbers may be a bit skewed as they played Air Force, but the problems surfaced in their other games as well. UCF averages more than 300 yards per game rushing, and has one of the best scoring defenses in football.
