In a chaotic upset, unranked UCF pulled off a stunning 39-31 double overtime victory over No. 2 team BYU, marking their first win against an AP Top 5 rival in program history. The game was filled with dramatic twists and controversial calls that left spectators in awe.
In the final moments of regulation, UCF had a chance to go up 27-24 with a field goal, but head coach Scott Frost opted for a fourth-down attempt. Unfortunately, Keyrone Jenkins was stopped inches from the goal line on a QB sneak, allowing BYU to take a seven-minute drive and regain the lead.
The chaos continued as BYU's Keanu Tanuvasa recovered a fumble, but a penalty was called, giving UCF an opportunity for a game-winning field goal. Will Stone's 46-yard attempt was blocked but bounced back to him, leading to a helmet dislodging and a 10-second runoff before the overtime kickoff.
The overtime saw Bear Bachmeier throw a touchdown to Legend Glasker for UCF, and Keyone Jenkins responded with a touchdown run to tie the game. UCF took full advantage of the opportunity, with Jenkins throwing a game-winning touchdown to Grayson Brousseau, sealing the victory for the Knights in one of the most dramatic upsets of the college football season.
