UCF Stuns No. 2 BYU in Double OT Thriller
25 Oct
Summary
- Keyone Jenkins' touchdown pass secured UCF's upset win.
- BYU's final fourth-down pass fell incomplete in overtime.
- A blocked field goal attempt forced the game into overtime.
The UCF Knights achieved their first-ever victory over a top-5 opponent, defeating No. 2 BYU 39-31 in a dramatic double-overtime contest on Saturday. The decisive moment came when Keyone Jenkins threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to tight end Grayson Brousseau in the second overtime period.
BYU had a final opportunity to extend the game, driving to UCF's 4-yard line. However, Bear Bachmeier's fourth-down pass to Walker Lyons was incomplete, sealing the upset for UCF. This loss follows BYU's significant win against Notre Dame the previous week, highlighting a pattern of top-ranked teams falling unexpectedly.
The game's conclusion in regulation was fraught with drama. UCF's potential game-winning field goal attempt was preceded by a play initially ruled a sack, which replay review overturned to an incomplete pass. A subsequent unsportsmanlike conduct penalty against BYU moved UCF into field goal range before their attempt was blocked, sending the game into overtime.
