UCF beats No. 2 BYU 39-31 in double overtime, its first win ever over a top-5 team
AP's recap of a finish UCF's coach called the weirdest he has ever seen: an overturned sack, a stuffed sneak at the 1, a missed winning kick and two overtimes.
UCF beat No. 2 BYU 39-31 in two overtimes in Orlando on Saturday, Oct. 24, the Knights' first win over a top-5 team in school history, AP reports. Backup quarterback Keyone Jenkins, in his fifth start since Alonza Barnett III was hurt, threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to tight end Grayson Brousseau in the second overtime and finished with 293 yards and three touchdown passes. BYU's last fourth-down pass from the UCF 4-yard line fell incomplete.
The end of regulation was chaotic: a sack was overturned on replay to an incomplete pass, BYU was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct, Jenkins was stopped on a fourth-and-goal sneak at the 1, and UCF couldn't convert a game-winning kick. "That's the weirdest end of a game I have ever seen," coach Scott Frost said.
A week earlier BYU had beaten then-No. 2 Notre Dame to reach its highest AP ranking since its 1984 national title season. The Cougars fell to 6-1.
