After winning its season opener against Tulane (38-31 in double overtime), Tulsa fell into a tailspin with seven straight losses but snapped out of that funk last Saturday at home with a 38-28 victory over SMU. The Golden Hurricane are now 2-3 in AAC action, but they head back out on the road where they've gone winless in four tries.

UCF is a modest 5-3 overall but is in the thick of the AAC race. At 3-1 in the league, it is tied with East Carolina and Cincinnati and just a half-game behind Memphis (4-1). The Knights had been winners of five in a row before dropping a disappointing 37-29 decision at Connecticut on Nov. 1. 

The Golden Hurricane have a 5-2 lead in the all-time series with the Knights, most recently beating UCF in the Conference USA Championship Game in 2012, 33-27.

The Golden Hurricane's defense has struggled all season long, ranking 119th in the country in scoring defense (39.2 ppg) and 113th in total defense (483.8 ypg).

The Knights has remained competitive this season thanks in large part to its stout defense, which allows just 21.4 ppg and 308.2 ypg.

The unit has picked off 11 passes, with Jacoby Glenn leading the ball-hawking secondary with five interceptions. Terrance Plummer leads the team with 71 tackles to go with 11.5 TFL, 2.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. Thomas Niles (8.5 TFL, 5.0 sacks) and Jaryl Mamea (7.0 TFL, 4.0 sacks) anchor the pass-rush.

UCF needed its bye week to recover from a potentially devastating loss to UConn, and it should be geared up to take care of business against an inferior Tulsa squad.
