UCF Quarterback Status Is Uncertain After Week 1 Injury to Cam Fancher
Coach Scott Frost highlighted uncertainty about Cam Fancher's playing status after a back and leg injury; backup Tayven Jackson threw for 282 yards leading to a win.
- On Monday, Coach Scott Frost said he is "not 100% sure" if Cam Fancher, UCF starting quarterback, will play Saturday against North Carolina A&T due to injury.
- After a hard hit early in the second quarter, UCF starting quarterback Cam Fancher exited, leading to a two-hour weather delay; the hit caused a sack and fumble overturned by a targeting call ejecting Jacksonville State defensive back Tre'Quon Fegans.
- Tayven Jackson stepped in after the delay and completed 17 of 24 passes for 282 yards and two touchdowns, including a 33-yard touchdown to DJ Black with 1:03 left for a 17-10 victory.
- Despite winning the camp battle, Cam Fancher now faces ongoing competition from Jacurri Brown as Coach Scott Frost said he will "make the decision that's best for the team" and is open to multiple quarterbacks.
- UCF's immediate schedule — Saturday's game against North Carolina A&T, a bye week, then North Carolina — means Coach Scott Frost will consult with Cam Fancher and trainers before Monday practice to assess his status.
