Our UCF Knights dug deep to pull off a 17-14 comeback victory over the Oklahoma State Cowboys at the Bounce House. The first half was tough for the home crowd, as the offense threw two interceptions and struggled to sustain drives. Oklahoma State capitalized on the sluggish start, scoring in the first quarter on a 5-yard touchdown pass from Zane Flores to Gavin Freeman. In the second quarter, Flores scored again on a 6-yard scramble, leaving the Knights in a 14-0 hole at halftime.

The second half turned around on the very first snap of the third quarter. Quarterback Tayven Jackson launched an 83-yard touchdown pass to Dylan Wade, cutting the deficit to 14-7 and shifting the momentum. While the offense found life, the UCF defense took over the game. The unit held the Cowboys to just 27 total yards after halftime, forcing punt after punt and giving the offense opportunities to tie.

With just over nine minutes left in the fourth quarter, Jackson found Wade again on a fourth-and-goal conversion from the 2-yard line to tie the game at 14-14. Kicker Noe Ruelas then secured the win by making a 34-yard field goal with 57 seconds remaining on the clock. Defensive back Braeden Marshall intercepted Oklahoma State's final pass on the ensuing drive to seal the 17-14 win, keeping UCF's bowl hopes alive.
