Key Facts

  • Keyone Jenkins threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Grayson Brousseau in the second overtime to secure the win.
  • UCF defeated No. 2 BYU 39-31, marking the Knights' first-ever win over a top-5 team.
  • BYU fell to 6-1 overall and 3-1 in Big 12 play, while UCF improved to 4-3 overall and 2-2 in the conference.
  • Keyone Jenkins finished 25 of 41 passing for 293 yards, three passing touchdowns, and one rushing touchdown.
  • A replay review in regulation overturned a ruling of a fumble against UCF to an incomplete pass, and a subsequent unsportsmanlike conduct penalty against BYU moved the ball into field goal range.
  • Will Stone had a 47-yard field goal attempt blocked by BYU near the end of regulation, leading to a 10-second runoff due to a lost helmet that sent the game to overtime.
