ORLANDO, Fla. — In Scott Frost’s first game back as the head coach at UCF, the Knights survived an upset scare from Jacksonville State 17-10.

Indiana transfer quarterback Tayven Jackson threw a 33-yard game-winning touchdown to DJ Black with just over a minute left in the fourth quarter.

This game wrapped up just after midnight due to a two-hour lightning and weather delay in the first half.

UCF (1-0) stays at the Acrisure Bounce House to host North Carolina A&T September 6 at 7:00.
