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.

China ends the U.S. women's seven-year reign at the gymnastics world championships

The AP story shows how one rotation on a 4-inch beam swung a world title by 0.233 points.

China won the women's team final at the Artistic Gymnastics World Championships in Rotterdam on Wednesday, Oct. 21, scoring 165.764 to the United States' 165.531, the AP reports. It ends a U.S. run of seven straight world team titles that began in 2011, and it is China's first world team gold since 2006.

The Americans led by nearly two points after vault and uneven bars. China then took over on balance beam, where Zhang Qingying's 15.066 was the top score of the day on any event, and a U.S. fall on a beam dismount opened a lead of more than two points heading into floor.

Japan took bronze, its first world championships podium in 60 years, according to the AP. The U.S. team was largely made up of athletes in their first worlds.

Lake Como's club routs Manchester United 4-1 in the Champions League, and its coach says he told them to ease off

A small Italian club's big night, and the pressure it piles on United's manager, in one quick report.

Como, coached by former Spain midfielder Cesc Fàbregas, beat Manchester United 4-1 in the Champions League on Wednesday, Oct. 21. Nico Paz scored after 118 seconds, scored again and set up another goal before Jacobo Ramón's header made it 4-0, according to the report on Yahoo Sports.

"I told my players to slow down at 4-0," Fàbregas said. Joshua Zirkzee's late goal kept United from matching its heaviest European defeat, 5-0 to Sporting in 1964. United coach Michael Carrick was seen apologizing to the traveling fans, and the report says captain Bruno Fernandes appeared to question the tactics afterward.
