Friday night marked UCF's annual "Space Game," a tradition that pays homage to the school's ties to the aerospace aviation industry."

Texas Tech moved to 9-1 on the season and shored up its position in the College Football Playoff race with a major statement win over fellow top-ten Big 12 squad BYU on Saturday."
