BYU quarterback Kedon Slovis is sacked by TCU linebacker Jamoi Hodge with linebacker Namdi Obiazor looking on during the first half of an NCAA college football game Saturday, Oct. 14, 2023, in Fort Worth, Texas.
"The fun in what we do is in winning," UCF quarterback John Rhys Plumlee said. "There's no secret about that. If somebody tries to make you feel better with a participation trophy, I think they're a little bit silly." UCF has 10 turnovers on offense, and its defense is allowing a Big 12-worst 197 rushing yards per game. The Golden Knights couldn't hold a 35-7 lead in the third quarter in a loss to Baylor, then allowed the first 31 points of the game the following week at Kansas, which amassed 399 rushing yards.
Houston didn't score in the second half of blowout losses to TCU and Texas Tech. The Cougars then earned the first win by one of the expansion schools over a league veteran, beating West Virginia on a last-second Hail Mary TD pass last week after the Mountaineers had scored a go-ahead touchdown with 12 seconds left.
"I feel like when you're in slumps like this, sometimes some people get discouraged," Jones said. "The confidence level is starting to go down right now on the team. We've still got six games left. We've got to stay positive and just get better, just improve every single week."
