Tayven Jackson's TD pass to DJ Black lifts UCF to 17-10 win over Jacksonville State

Tayven Jackson completed 17 of 24 passes for 282 yards and two touchdowns, leading UCF to a 17-10 victory despite a two-hour weather delay and offensive challenges.

  • On Thursday, UCF quarterback Tayven Jackson threw for 282 yards and two touchdowns, leading a final-two-minute drive capped by a 33-yard touchdown to DJ Black with 1:03 left to secure a 17 victory in Scott Frost's Orlando return.
  • After starter Cam Fancher was injured with a lower-back issue, Tayven Jackson took over; UCF added nearly 70 players and Jacksonville State added more than 50, disrupting offensive rhythm.
  • UCF's defense made a decisive fourth-down stop on 4th-and-1 at the UCF 36-yard line with four minutes left, while Jayden Bellamy intercepted Jacksonville State to seal the victory; Myles Montgomery led with 79 yards on 21 carries and a 64-yard reception setting up a field goal.
  • The victory gives Scott Frost, UCF head coach, a successful start in his second stint while the quarterback race shifts as Tayven Jackson strengthens his case and both teams prepare for next week.
  • A two-hour and seven-minute lightning delay stretched the game to over five hours, and turnovers plus 9 penalties for 80 yards hindered UCF offense's 108 rushing yards and 2.9 yards per carry.
