The Gus Bus is rolling into Week 2, Knight Nation.

The UCF Knights are 1-0 so far this season after one heck of a game against Boise State. UCF came out on top 36-31, but it wasn’t easy. It wasn’t pretty either — does a three-hour rain delay due to inclement weather ring a bell?

Despite a 1 a.m. finish, the Bounce House was definitely bouncin’ — all the way to the final whistle.

This week, the Knights will take on the Bethune-Cookman Wildcats for the first time since 2014.

Let’s see what Gus Malzahn, Dillon Gabriel and soon-to-be-household-name Isaiah Bowser can do on Saturday. But while we’re waiting for Game Day, be sure to check out UCF’s new ESPN+ special, “Our Time” and catch up on all things UCF and Big 12 related.

Here’s what you need to know heading into Week 2.
