Overview
- Unranked UCF beat No. 2 BYU 39-31 in double overtime on Saturday, with fans storming the Acrisure Bounce House after a final goal‑line stop.
- Backup quarterback Keyone Jenkins led UCF with a breakout performance, completing 25 of 41 for 293 yards, rushing for one score and accounting for four total touchdowns.
- The game’s closing minutes hinged on a string of disputed officiating rulings: a replay that overturned a fumble to an incomplete pass, an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty that gave UCF yardage, a blocked field goal on which the kicker’s helmet came off that produced a 10‑second runoff, and a roughing‑the‑kicker flag in double overtime that turned a field goal into a touchdown.
- BYU’s unbeaten season ended and the loss is likely to push the Cougars down in polls and complicate College Football Playoff positioning as both teams shift focus to upcoming games against Arizona State and Baylor.
- The upset is UCF’s first win over an AP Top‑5 team and will intensify review of Big 12 replay and clock procedures, with coaches and rules analysts already disputing how specific rules were applied late in the game.
