The game was characterized by a chaotic final minute of regulation and controversial officiating decisions in overtime. UCF backup quarterback Keyone Jenkins accounted for four total touchdowns. After an apparent strip-sack was overturned to an incomplete pass in regulation, BYU blocked a potential game-winning field goal to force overtime.
