UCF vs. South Carolina State preview, odds, prediction, TV channel, live stream
The UCF Knights look to extend their winning streak as they take on the South Carolina State Bulldogs in Week 2 of college football.
There were plenty of jokes hurled at fans of the UCF Knights throughout the offseason. Regarding all of the proclamations that they were the “national champions” and so on, many other fans grew tired of it. However, what remained undeniable is that the Knights went unbeaten last season, going toe-to-toe with and toppling every foe they faced. And it looks like they don’t intend on stopping.
Armed with quarterback McKenzie Milton still, UCF started off 1-0 with an emphatic victory last week over UConn. The potential Heisman Trophy candidate himself had some minor concerns about how he’s perform under a new head coach entering the year, but those have already seemingly been dismissed. Now, he’s the problem for the South Carolina State Bulldogs, who travel to Orlando to face the Knights on Saturday.
South Carolina State got embarrassed by Georgia Southern one week ago, losing by a count of 37-6. Giving up 37 points in that game truly does not bode well for them as they gear up to face one of the most explosive offenses in the country.
With the departures that UCF experienced like Mike Hughes, Tre’Quan Smith and Shaquem Griffin, there was a thought that perfection might not be attainable this year. Heading into the second week of the season, however, it looks like it could be back-to-back unbeaten years for the Knights, which would be unheard of.

Again, we’re talking about a UCF team here that hasn’t lost since it read 2016 on the calendar. Even though Scott Frost is gone, they showed last week that they still intend to keep rolling this year. And frankly, I’m not sure that there’s anything that South Carolina State can really do on the road on Saturday to stop that from happening.
