The football team at UCF will be facing off against Baylor at 8:30 p.m. EST Wednesday for the 2014 Fiesta Bowl.

The sixth-ranked Baylor Bears (11-1) will be playing the 15th-ranked UCF Knights (11-1) at the neutral University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz. The game serves as the Fiesta Bowl, which is presented by Tostitos and has been held annually since 1971. Baylor is the favorite to win among oddsmakers.

Baylor quarterback Bryce Petty recently noted to mutual respect the two teams have for each other.

"I know I respect them. It's always interesting, I guess, to know that you're playing a team that's kind of came from the same background as you have," Petty said." You can tell they came from hard work. They've been backed up in a corner. It's nice to see us both rising at the same time."

Meanwhile, UCF head coach George O'Leary is ready to win, and is aware of Baylor's weaknesses.

"Art is putting those wide receivers out too far," O'Leary quipped recently, referring to Baylor head coach Art Briles. "I told him [on Sunday] to put them in a little more, help us out. ... If Art could just move those receivers in a little bit, it would really help. If you see Art, ask him if he could do me a favor, move them in a little bit. We'll be all set."

The Baylor Bears vs. UCF Knights Fiesta Bowl will be broadcast live on ESPN at 8:30 p.m. EST and can be viewed through live streaming online here.
