ORLANDO (UCFAthletics.com) - After two-straight road games, the UCF football team returns to Bright House Networks Stadium Saturday to match-up with SMU at 3:30 p.m. It will be the first time the Mustangs battle the Knights in Orlando.
UCF is currently in a stretch where seven-straight contests are to appear on national television, with this weekend's rumble with the Mustangs set for CBS College Sports.
Coming off a 58-13 road loss to UTEP in the Conference USA opener, the Knights are 1-3 overall and will be facing its second opponent from the C-USA West Division. The Black and Gold defeated SMU in last year's meeting, 49-20, sparked by Khymest Williams' 99-yard kickoff return to open the game. Michael Greco saw playing time behind Kyle Israel and went 3-for-7 for 49 yards.
SMU stands at 1-4 on the year with an 0-2 mark in league play after dropping a 34-27 decision at Tulane Sept. 25. Bo Levi Mitchell has racked up 1,243 passing yards to help the Mustangs average 23 points per game. However, they are -5 in turnover margin.
