UCF Knights football: Big 12 moves Space Game showdown vs. Houston to Friday, Nov. 7

UCF’s Space Game showdown with Houston will take place on a Friday night in the national spotlight.

The Big 12 Conference and its television partners, ESPN and FOX, announced that the Knights’ home contest with the Cougars has been moved to Nov. 7. Kickoff time and broadcast details are still to be determined.

UCF is 8-0 all-time in Space Games, winning by an average margin of 30.8 points per game. In November, the Knights, adopting the Citronaut moniker for the afternoon, throttled Arizona 56-12 as Dylan Rizk threw for 294 yards and three touchdowns.
