UCF at Kansas Gets Its Kickoff Time: 3:45 P.M. Eastern Saturday on ESPN2
The six-day television window closed Sunday and the Knights' trip to Lawrence is set: Saturday, November 7 at 3:45 p.m. Eastern (2:45 local) on ESPN2, at David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium.
UCF's next road trip has a time and a channel. The Big 12's television selections for the weekend of November 7 were finalized on Sunday under the six-day option, and the Knights' game at Kansas is set for Saturday, November 7 at 3:45 p.m. Eastern on ESPN2 — 2:45 p.m. local time at David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium in Lawrence, per the conference's official schedule. The same Sunday selections put Oklahoma at Florida at 7:45 p.m. Eastern on the SEC Network and Miami at Notre Dame at 7:30 p.m. on NBC and Peacock, which makes the Knights the afternoon act in a full Florida Saturday.
The trip matters more than the time slot. UCF is 4-4 overall and 2-3 in the Big 12 after Friday night's 41-9 Space Game loss to Baylor at the Bounce House, and the Knights have not won on the road in a while — the context their own camp put on this game in the postgame reporting. With four games left — at Kansas, then Arizona State and Iowa State at home, then the regular-season finale at Colorado — UCF needs two more wins to reach the six-win line for bowl eligibility, and Kansas is the only one of the four played away from Orlando before the finale.
Kansas, for its part, beat Baylor in Lawrence the week before Baylor came to Orlando — the Big 12's weekly reminder, quoted in the Florida reporting this weekend, that in this league the team that beat the team you beat tells you nothing. Kickoff coverage from the Sports Desk runs on game day; the Knights' next home game follows on November 14 against Arizona State.
