UCF’s double OT takedown of BYU was the most chaotic upset of the college football season
From controversial penalties to clutch throws to dueling goal line stands, the end of UCF and BYU was college football chaos at its finest.
In an extraordinary double overtime victory, unranked UCF stunned the college football world by defeating AP Top 5 team BYU in one of the most chaotic upsets of the season. With the score tied 24-24 in regulation, UCF head coach Scott Frost chose to go for it on fourth down instead of kicking a field goal, ultimately resulting in a failed QB sneak attempt.
After BYU recovered a fumble and claimed possession, chaos ensued as a controversial penalty shifted the momentum back to UCF. Will Stone's 46-yard field goal was blocked, but he managed to run for several yards before his helmet was dislodged, leading to a potential re-kick. However, due to a 10-second runoff, UCF had to settle for overtime.
In overtime, Bear Bachmeier's fantastic 3rd-and-13 throw to Legend Glasker was followed by Jenkins' game-winning touchdown to Josh Derry, putting UCF ahead 31-24. Despite BYU's effort to block the field goal, a harsh penalty was called on Kendal Wall for roughing the kicker, giving UCF a golden opportunity to win in double overtime.
