No. 2 BYU, the latest unbeaten team to fall this college football season, lost to UCF 39-31 in double overtime on Saturday in Orlando, Florida. The Knights' Keyone Jenkins threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to tight end Grayson Brousseau in the second overtime. The win gave UCF its first victory over a top-five team in school history.
The finish in regulation was chaotic. UCF was driving toward a potential winning field goal when Jenkins lost the ball, which was ruled a sack on the field. After a replay review, the call was overturned to an incomplete pass, and BYU was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct. BYU then blocked kicker Will Stone's 47-yard attempt to force overtime. With the Cougars driving for a touchdown and a 2-point conversion to force a third overtime, Bear Bachmeier's fourth-down pass to Walker Lyons fell incomplete.
Jenkins finished 25-of-41 for 293 yards and three touchdowns, and ran for a score in his fifth start since replacing the injured Alonza Barnett III. Tyren Hornes had six catches for 137 yards, and Duke Watson ran for 94 yards. Bachmeier threw for 257 yards and two touchdowns for BYU.
UCF coach Scott Frost praised his backup quarterback. "Our backup is not a backup. He had an unbelievable game tonight," Frost said. He called it "the weirdest end of a game I have ever seen."
