BYU followed up one of its biggest wins in recent history with one of its most dramatic losses, as the No. 2 Cougars fell 39-31 in double overtime to unranked UCF on Saturday in Orlando.
The Cougars flirted with disaster twice in the dying minutes of regulation, first stopping UCF on a goal-line stand and then blocking a potential game-winning kick to force the extra frame.
After the teams traded touchdowns in the first overtime, UCF received a gift in the second session when a roughing-the-kicker penalty gave the Knights a fresh set of downs. The Knights then punched in a touchdown and a two-point conversion to put pressure on BYU once again.
