UCF Stuns Kansas State in Tight Matchup, Defying Rebuilding Expectations
27 Sep, 2025
Summary
- UCF off to 3-0 start, defying expectations of a rebuilding year
- Kansas State 1-3, losing all three games by a total of 12 points
- UCF defense to test inconsistent Kansas State offense

Just a few months ago, UCF was expected to be a team struggling this season. However, the Knights have defied those expectations, starting the year 3-0 and delivering a stunningly dominant 34-9 victory over North Carolina.
On the other hand, Kansas State has found itself in a difficult position, sitting at 1-3 despite being just a few plays away from a 4-0 start. The Wildcats have lost all three of their games by a total of just 12 points, leaving them searching for answers on the offensive side of the ball.
As the two teams prepare to face off on September 27th, UCF's stifling defense will look to continue disrupting opposing offenses and take advantage of Kansas State's inconsistencies. The Wildcats will need to find a way to get their own offense in rhythm if they hope to turn their season around and secure a crucial home victory.
