    BREAKING: UCF Drops 68 in Blowout – But Major Concerns Emerge! I UCF Podcast
    Sep 8 2025
    UCF’s 68–7 win over North Carolina A&T looked like an all-out statement, but once you dig into the numbers and the tape, the story isn’t quite as perfect as the scoreboard suggests. Scott Frost’s squad rolled to a sixty-one point victory, with huge explosive plays from Jaden Nixon and Jakari Brown lighting up the run game. Special teams added a touchdown, the defense forced multiple turnovers, and for the first time since 2017 UCF scored in all three phases. But here’s the truth: the passing attack remains shaky. Taven Jackson went 12 for 21 with 189 yards, but the accuracy on deep throws is a real concern. Many of his completions came on comebacks and stop routes rather than timing throws or leading receivers downfield. Against stronger Big 12 opponents, that won’t cut it. The bye week couldn’t come at a better time. Another area to watch is the offensive line in run blocking. While Nixon exploded for two long runs, most inside carries went nowhere. Against North Carolina A&T, you can get away with that. Against Kansas State or Baylor, it’s a different story. Still, a win is a win, and this schedule sets UCF up to work out kinks before hitting conference play. If Jackson can clean up his accuracy and the offensive line can open holes consistently, this team can surprise. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

  • Scott Frost REACTS: Cam Fancher Injury & Taven Jackson’s Big Moment

    Scott Frost REACTS: Cam Fancher Injury & Taven Jackson’s Big Moment
    Sep 3 2025
    UCF fans, the quarterback conversation just got real. Scott Frost spoke after the Jacksonville State game and made it clear — the Knights have to improve fast. Cam Fancher’s injury had fans holding their breath, but thankfully it wasn’t a concussion. Instead, it’s a leg issue that will be evaluated this week. That opened the door for Taven Jackson, and he made the most of his chance, throwing for 282 yards and two big touchdowns that changed the entire game. Scott Frost praised Jackson for stepping in and handling the moment, and now the door is wide open for a quarterback discussion heading into the matchup against North Carolina A&T. Two QB usage is still on the table, but should it be? I share my thoughts on why that approach doesn’t help UCF build rhythm on offense. The offense also showed flashes of explosiveness, but not nearly enough. Frost pointed out that you can’t live on 17-play drives that stall out. Explosive plays are a must if UCF wants to compete with Big 12 opponents down the road. Miles Montgomery made plays in both the run game and passing game, while DJ Black and other receivers gave Taven Jackson options. Still, the offensive line’s run blocking left plenty to be desired. Defensively, UCF looked more aggressive, getting after the quarterback and keeping Jacksonville State’s ground game in check. The fundamentals still need work though, with costly penalties and turnovers putting the Knights in tough spots. UCF has to clean it up quickly. Kansas State and Big 12 play aren’t far away.

  • UCF QB Shakeup! Why Scott Frost Must Stick with Tayven Jackson

    UCF QB Shakeup! Why Scott Frost Must Stick with Tayven Jackson
    Sep 1 2025
    After a shaky start in UCF’s season opener, Scott Frost now faces one of the most pivotal quarterback decisions of his tenure. Cam Fancher had the first shot, but missed opportunities defined his night. In stepped Taven Jackson — and the offense immediately looked alive. Jackson finished 17 of 24 for 282 yards and two touchdowns, showing poise under pressure and giving fans a reason to believe he should be the starter moving forward. The big question now: will Frost commit to Jackson as QB1 for game two against North Carolina A&T? The signs all point to yes. Not only did Jackson deliver when it mattered, but his ability to make throws under duress elevated the entire unit. The offense finally found rhythm, and the wide receivers showcased their talent after being bottled up early. On defense, UCF allowed 322 yards and struggled against the run, but limited Jacksonville State to 10 points. The effort was enough, though there are major concerns about stopping the ground game before conference play. Offensively, the grades weren’t pretty — a C- overall — but Jackson’s play bumped expectations significantly. This episode breaks down why Frost can’t afford to go back to Fancher, what the offense and defense grades reveal about UCF’s ceiling, and which wideouts could emerge as the Knights’ go-to playmakers. With three straight home games ahead, UCF has to build momentum fast. 💥 Sponsors Game Cap – Vintage college hats at classic prices. Visit thegamecap.com and use code LOCKEDONCOLLEGE for a discount.
