The UCF Knights head into Week 4 with heavy hearts but clear focus. The loss of offensive line coach Shawn Clark has left a void far beyond football. He was a mentor, husband, and father whose impact is felt across the program. Today we honor his legacy, share the outpouring from the college football community, and talk about how this team can best honor him on the field.

Then the focus shifts to the UCF vs Kansas State matchup. The Wildcats have looked beatable despite early wins, and this is the type of road test where discipline and execution matter most. UCF’s pass protection has improved, and the Knights’ ability to sustain drives quietly puts pressure on defenses.

Quarterback Tayven Jackson has been sharp: completing 70% of his passes, throwing zero interceptions, and showing poise in the red zone. His efficiency, tempo control, and ability to pick spots for big plays will determine how far this offense can go. Add in a ground game that can pound the edges and mix misdirection, and UCF has a blueprint to frustrate Kansas State’s defense.

This one comes down to composure, red zone execution, and honoring a coach who meant everything to his players. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
