Summarised from 2 outlets · 3 reports · Updated 25 Oct, 01:32 · Archive

UCF defeated second-ranked BYU 39-31 in double overtime in a wild college football game.

Keyone Jenkins threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to tight end Grayson Brousseau in the second overtime to lead UCF to a 39-31 victory over second-ranked BYU on Saturday. The game featured a dramatic finish in regulation when UCF was driving toward a potential game-winning field goal. Jenkins lost the ball on a play initially ruled a sack, but after replay review the call was overturned to an incomplete pass, and BYU was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct. This moved UCF into field goal range, though kicker Will Stone's 47-yard attempt was blocked, forcing overtime.

Both teams scored a touchdown on their first possession of overtime. In the second overtime, Jenkins' touchdown pass to Brousseau gave UCF a 37-31 lead, and a successful 2-point conversion extended it to 39-31. BYU got one final chance to tie the game but Bachmeier's fourth-down pass to Walker Lyons fell incomplete, giving the Knights their first win over a top-5 team in school history. Jenkins finished 25 of 41 for 293 yards and three touchdowns and also ran for a score in his fifth start since replacing injured quarterback Alonza Barnett III.

BYU, which had moved to its highest AP Top 25 ranking since its 1984 national title season after beating then-No. 2 Notre Dame the previous week, became the latest unbeaten team to fall during a wild stretch of the college football season.
