Impact Fancher hasn't played since Week 7 and has been limited to just three games overall this season. His absence means Jacurri Brown will likely operate as the backup behind Tayven Jackson under center.

Ruled out Saturday Fancher (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game versus West Virginia, per the Big 12 availability report.
Impact Fancher, who made his return as the starting quarterback in Saturday's loss to Cincinnati, has now been ruled out for Week 8. With Tayven Jackson healthy and Jacurri Brown (shoulder) questionable, it seems likely that Jackson will make his return to the starting lineup with Fancher unavailable.

Solid in return to starting lineup Fancher completed 28 of 49 passes for 222 yards during Saturday's 20-11 loss versus Cincinnati. He also had 20 rushes for 108 yards with one touchdown.
Impact Fancher made his first start since Week 1 Saturday as Tayven Jackson (undisclosed) and Jacuzzi Brown (shoulder) were both dealing with injuries. He played fairly well especially on the ground, rushing for over 100 yards and scoring his team's only touchdown with a three-yard rush late in the fourth quarter. It's unlikely he remains the starter when Tayven Jackson returns, but it's currently unclear when that will be.

Starting vs Cincinnati Fancher will start at quarterback in Saturday's matchup versus Cincinnati, per Alex Walker of WFTV.
Impact Fancher is set to make his first start of the season, as Tayven Jackson (undisclosed) and Jacurri Brown (shoulder) are both currently dealing with injuries. Fancher will look to be more efficient passing the ball Saturday than he was during last week's loss versus Kansas, where he completed 8 of 14 passes for just 79 while filing in for Jackson during the second half.

Quiet in relief Fancher completed 8 of 14 passes for 79 yards during Saturday's 27-20 defeat versus Kansas. He also had seven rushes for 23 yards.
Impact After Tayven Jackson (undisclosed) left the game in the third quarter, and with Jacurri Brown (shoulder) out, Fancher made his return to the field Saturday. He completed 57 percent of his passes for 79 yards and added 23 yards on the ground but he was unable to complete a comeback versus Kansas. His four drives resulted in two punts and two turnovers on downs. With Jackson and Brown's statuses up in the air ahead of Saturday's trip to Cincinnati, Fancher could be in line to start.

Doesn't see field vs. UNC Fancher didn't see the field in UCF's win over North Carolina in Week 4.
Impact Fancher was dealing with a back injury, but was considered probable for Week 4. However, Tayven Jackson played in his stead, and certainly put together a solid performance, accounting for 289 total yards and two scores while completing 78 percent of his passes. It appears Fancher has lost the starting job, and Jackson has locked down the Knights' QB1 spot for the foreseeable future.

Not starting vs. UNC Fancher (back) won't get the start against North Carolina in Week 4, per Matt Murschel of the Orlando Sentinel.
Impact Fancher was deemed probable to play, but he won't get the start against the Tar Heels. That honor will fall on Tayven Jackson, who played in Weeks 1 and 2 before getting replaced by Fancher. He'll still likely be available, but he won't be the first gunslinger to trot out with the Knights.

The 6-foot-2 senior threw for 32 yards (5-for-9), adding on 39 rushing yards in UCF's opener before suffering a back injury.

Impact Fancher was 5-of-9 passing for 32 yards while also rushing for 39 yards on four carries before he was knocked out of UCF's opener against Jacksonville State. The back injury he suffered has now bled into Week 2, as he'll miss the Knights' clash with FCS foe North Carolina A&T. Head coach Scott Frost didn't tell reporters who would start, but all signs point to Tayven Jackson, who replaced Fancher in Week 1 and tossed for 282 yards and two touchdowns while completing over 70 percent of his passes.

May not start in Week 2 UCF head coach Scott Frost would not commit to Fancher (back) starting Saturday's game against North Carolina A&T, Matt Murschel of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Impact Fancher left the Knights' season opener due to a back injury he sustained after taking a hard hit on a scramble.

Frost noted the possibility of both quarterbacks playing as well.

Dealing with back injury Fancher is dealing with a back issue which is why he was unable to return to the game versus Jacksonville State on Thursday, Matt Murschel of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Impact Fancher got shaken up after a hard hit on a scramble and coach Scott Frost revealed after the game that it's a back issue Fancher is dealing with. Frost did not elaborate on the injury as it seems the team is still gathering more information. Fancher went 5-of-9 passing for 32 yards while also picking up 39 yards on the ground. Tayven Jackson threw for 282 yards and two touchdowns in his place and is in line to lead the offense next week against North Carolina A&T if Fancher is unable to go.
