The quarterback competition at UCF is heating up, and head coach Scott Frost isn’t ready to name a starter just yet. In this episode, we break down the race between Jakuri Brown, Taven Jackson, and Cam Fancher. With the season opener approaching fast, Frost’s comments at media days suggest one thing: nobody has emerged as the clear leader, and time is running out.

We dive into what each quarterback brings to the table and what it’ll take to earn the starting job. Is it a question of who knows the playbook best? Or will raw athleticism and dual-threat ability carry more weight in Frost’s system? We also evaluate the balance between risk-taking and ball security, a critical element in determining the eventual starter.

While Frost praises all three QBs publicly, the real story might be in what he's not saying. The coaches can only spread reps so far, and eventually, someone will have to rise—or fall. With Jacksonville State looming, UCF can't afford indecision at the most important position on the field.

Plus, we analyze UCF’s strong running back room and how it could offset any growing pains at quarterback. Can the running game provide enough support while the QB position stabilizes?
