Baylor routed UCF 41-9 in Joe Klanderman’s first game as interim coach, just days after the Bears fired Dave Aranda. Quarterback DJ Lagway threw for 319 yards and four touchdowns, while Baylor’s defense held UCF to 281 total yards and recorded seven sacks. UCF quarterback Keyone Jenkins left in the third quarter after aggravating an ankle injury, and the Knights struggled to build on their upset of BYU the previous week. UCF did set a program record with a 57-yard field goal.
