UCF delivered a dominant performance in their annual Space Game, overwhelming Arizona 56-12 to snap a five-game losing streak. RJ Harvey was instrumental, rushing for 184 yards and three touchdowns, while newcomer Dylan Rizk, starting for the first time, commanded the offense efficiently, throwing for 294 yards and three touchdowns. UCF's offensive switching paid off significantly, as they tallied 602 yards of offense, their highest since the season opener. Arizona found their rhythm only in fleeting passing plays, notably scoring towards the end of each half, but couldn't muster more against UCF's reinforced defense.
The Knights' defense was equally aggressive and rejuvenated after a coaching change, sacking Arizona's Noah Fifita four times and allowing only five rushing yards. UCF's Ethan Barr recovered an early fumble leading to a quick touchdown, setting the tone for the first half. Arizona's top receiver, Tetairoa McMillan, marked his place in school history with another strong performance, but it was not enough as UCF controlled the game from start to finish and maintained their undefeated streak in Space Games.
