UCF Beats No. 2 BYU 39-31 in Chaotic Double Overtime

UCF defeated No. 2 BYU 39-31 in double overtime on Saturday in Orlando, Florida. The victory marked the first win over a top-five-ranked opponent in school history for the Knights.

Keyone Jenkins threw a two-yard touchdown pass to tight end Grayson Brousseau in the second overtime to seal the win. Jenkins played quarterback for UCF throughout the chaotic finish.

“That's the weirdest end of a game I've ever seen.”

BYU entered the game with a 6-1 record and a 3-1 mark in Big 12 play. UCF improved to 4-3 overall and 2-2 in conference play after the upset.

The regulation ending featured multiple dramatic turns. With under two minutes left and the score tied at 24, BYU stopped Jenkins on fourth-and-goal.

After BYU went three-and-out, an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty by defensive tackle Keanu Tanuvasa moved UCF into field goal range. Will Stone then missed a 46-yard field goal attempt before recovering his own blocked kick with two seconds remaining.

A helmet removal during the recovery led to a 10-second runoff that sent the game into overtime. In the extra periods, Bear Bachmeier threw a 28-yard touchdown for BYU before Jenkins answered with the game-winning score.
