UCF Stuns No. 2 BYU in Overtime Thriller
25 Oct
Summary
- Jenkins' TD pass secured UCF's historic upset win.
- BYU's undefeated streak ended in overtime.
- A late turnover call reversal led to overtime.
Keyone Jenkins connected with tight end Grayson Brousseau for a 2-yard touchdown pass in the second overtime, giving UCF a stunning 39-31 victory over No. 2 BYU on Saturday. This historic win marks the Knights' first defeat of a top-5 ranked opponent in their program's history.
The Cougars, who were undefeated entering the contest and had recently triumphed over Notre Dame, suffered their first loss of the season in a dramatic fashion. BYU had an opportunity to extend the game or win it, driving to the UCF 4-yard line on their final possession.
However, Bear Bachmeier's fourth-down pass was incomplete, sealing UCF's victory. The game saw a wild regulation finish where UCF's potential game-winning field goal attempt was blocked after a review overturned a sack to an incomplete pass, with a penalty moving the ball into range.
