This UCF vs Florida matchup is sure to be an exciting one for college football fans, with big implications on both sides moving forward.

UCF QB Returns to SEC Country

The UCF Knights are led by quarterback KJ Jefferson, who spent time in the SEC as a member of the Arkansas Razorbacks before going to Central Florida. Here, Jefferson returns to an SEC school in this UCF vs Florida matchup, looking to lead the Knights to a fourth win in their first five games. But the question for UCF will be whether their defense can hold up against Florida after the Knights gave up 48 points last week and were pushed around by a bad Colorado team.

Florida Looks For Second Straight Win

Last week, the Florida Gators had a bye and will come into this week's action with some extra rest under their belt. Florida is 2-2 overall this season and is looking for a second win in a row after they beat Mississippi State in their last outing. The Gators are 0-2 against ranked teams this season and 2-0 against unranked opponents. Against an unranked UCF team, the Gators will look to keep their winning streak over unranked foes in tact and put together their first winning streak of multiple games in the 2024 season.

UCF vs Florida Prediction

Regardless of which side ends up winning in Saturday's UCF vs Florida game, we will take the points with the Florida Gators as an underdog at home here. UCF's defense looked downright alarming last week against Colorado. And while Florida may not have the same quarterback talent the Buffaloes do, they should be able to use their physicality to cause problems for the Knights throughout this one.
