Down goes No. 2 BYU! UCF gets the stop in double OT and they’re storming the field in Orlando. Signature win for Scott Frost and his crew in Year 2 with an absolutely wild ending.

Let me see if I got this right... - UCF lines up for FG with 10 secs left and no TOs. Clock reset to :15, so then Jenkins spikes on 1st down (?) and throws away on 2nd down to get it down to 11 seconds. - Will Stone's FG try from 46 on 3rd down is blocked. He recovers, his helmet is ripped off on the tackle. - UCF thinks it can try again on 4th down and sends in a different kicker. Unclear what the clock situation should be. - Officials determine 10-second runoff because Stone's helmet came off. OT!

Hard to find the words to describe what UCF just did which its opportunity for a game-winning field goal vs. BYU... What an insane situation in Orlando. Going to OT.

Cincinnati is shredding Texas Tech's defense today. Cole Tabb puts this one away with a 58-yard TD. No team had rushed for 200+ vs. Tech under DC Shiel Wood, but Bearcats have 234 on the ground today.

Big win for West Virginia. They get outgained 484-265 but pull off the 24-20 win at TCU with a red zone strip sack of Jaden Craig. Rich Rodriguez's squad is 5-3 in Year 2. Fourth one-score loss of the season for the Frogs.

NEWS: Oregon State star freshman wide receiver Jesse Legree has re-signed with the Beavers and will return to play there in 2027, he tells ESPN. Legree leads the nation in receiving yards (1,040), touchdown catches (14) and receiving yards per game (148.6).
