Sam Houston State Bearkats vs UCF Knights Prediction & Picks - NCAA
by Lou Aguila | in NCAA Picks
The UCF Knights aim to sustain their momentum as they go for a 2-0 start against Sam Houston on Friday, 6:30 PM US EST, at FBC Mortgage Stadium. The Knights stormed to a lopsided 57-3 win over New Hampshire to kick off their second college football season in the Big 12. New UCF quarterback KJ Jefferson had a pedestrian game, covering 164 yards on 7-for-14 pass completions with 2 touchdowns. The Knights’ offense leaned heavily on their running back crew, who responded with authority as they ran for 454 yards – which was the longest rushing yardage covered by any college football team on opening week. Sam Houston also earned a victory on opening week, clobbering Rice 34-14 at Rice Stadium. Sam Houston blanked Rice 17-0 in the first quarter to set the tone of the match. Quarterback Hunter Watson led his team in both passing yards (229 with 2 touchdowns) and rushing yards (57 on 14 carries).

Our Sam Houston State Bearkats vs UCF Knights Prediction
The UCF coaching staff still got criticism from several fans for not letting KJ Jefferson do his thing from the pocket in the season opener. Jefferson is the prized quarterback acquisition of the summer for the Knights, joining UCF after putting together a legendary career at Arkansas. UCF is going to utilize Jefferson more in this match, making the Knight offense a lot more potent with RJ Harvey and the nation’s No.1 running back crew expected to dazzle under the spotlight once again. Last game, UCF scored 57 points despite Jefferson’s so-so performance. I expect them to surpass the 50-point mark for the second straight game, but this time offense will be coming from everywhere. Our betting prediction for UCF Knights vs. Sam Houston Bearkats: Back UCF Knights to score OVER 43.5 points, +155, at DraftKings.
