How Oklahoma State Could Exploit UCF's Massive List of Missing Players

Oklahoma State enters Saturday’s Big 12 showdown against UCF with a clear opportunity to exploit the Knights’ depth issues, particularly on both sides of the ball. UCF’s roster is notably thin, with nine players listed as unavailable for the game, including key contributors like wide receiver Caleb Rollerson, quarterbacks Alonza Barnett III and Dante Carr, and linebacker Lewis Carter.

Barnett, who suffered a hamstring injury in Week 2, remains out, forcing UCF to rely on backup Keyone Jenkins, who has stepped up but leaves the offense vulnerable if he’s injured. The Cowboys’ defense, led by ends James Williams and Jaleel Johnson, could capitalize on a weakened UCF offensive line, where starters Jacob Maiava and Owen Spell are out, while the loss of Carter—who has recorded 12 tackles this season—opens the door for Oklahoma State’s run game to target the left side of the field.
