Pittsburgh defeated UCF 12-7 in a weather-delayed contest at Acrisure Stadium on Saturday. The Knights struggled offensively throughout the game, managing only 206 total yards and failing to score until the final three minutes. UCF quarterback Alonza Barnett III connected with Waden Charles for a 19-yard touchdown pass to end the shutout bid. Pitt relied on a strong defensive effort that included holding the Knights to less than one yard per carry and forcing a safety on an intentional grounding penalty. The result extends UCF's road losing streak to 10 games, a span during which the program has failed to surpass 21 points in any outing. UCF head coach Scott Frost accepted responsibility for the play-calling error that led to the safety and cited poor offensive execution.
