UCF head coach Scott Frost addressed the media following Friday night’s 30-27 Space Game loss to Houston, explaining the late-game quarterback switch to Davi Belfort, the Knights' second-half offensive struggles, and why he believes his team is still close to breaking through. Despite a record-setting night by safety Phillip Dunnam and a gutsy effort by an injury-depleted defense, Frost said the Knights have to clean up the “basic things” and find ways to finish games down the stretch.
