SIX DAYS AFTER STUNNING NO. 2 BYU, UCF GETS CRUSHED 41-9 BY BAYLOR
Six days after stunning No. 2 BYU in double overtime, UCF returned home and was crushed 41-9 by unranked Baylor, snapping the Knights' four-game home winning streak.

Baylor got the best of the Citronauts 41-9 on Friday night in UCF's 10th annual Space Game, played before a sellout crowd of 45,906 in Orlando.
The Bears jumped out to a 14-0 lead, and UCF got on the scoreboard with 3:24 remaining in the second quarter on a 39-yard field goal by Will Stone.
Baylor extended its advantage to 20-3 before Stone connected on a school-record 57-yard field goal to close the first half, sending the Citronauts into the break trailing 20-6.
Baylor quarterback DJ Lagway capped drives with touchdown passes of 21 and 77 yards, finishing with 319 yards on 16 of 25 passing with four touchdowns, while Baylor totaled 503 total yards and recorded seven sacks.
UCF managed only 281 total yards and did not pick up its first first down until midway through the second quarter; quarterback Keyone Jenkins left in the third quarter with an apparent lower-leg injury.
