BYU at UCF

Sports · Heat 2.9 / 10 · 3 shows · 18m airtime

UCF hosted BYU in Orlando on October 24, 2026, with BYU the highest-ranked team ever to play there. UCF won 39-31 in double overtime, its first victory over an AP Top 5 team. Referees said after the game that a ten-second runoff should not have been called, meaning UCF should have had another kick. The discussion now centers on the officiating: Griffin argues the overtime roughing the kicker flag was bad because the rusher was pulled in, and that BYU probably wins without it.

How 3 podcasts covered it

    Teases Zaslow over skipping BYU at UCF
    Touches on Miami's running backs, then turns to UCF hosting BYU as the highest-ranked team ever to visit Orlando, mostly to tease Zaslow for not attending. A short, banter-driven segment with one scheduling fact.

  2. Nightcap, 2026-10-25 (12:07 to 16:30)
    Covers UCF's double-overtime upset of BYU
    Covers the game itself, which the earlier discussion skipped: UCF's 39-31 double-overtime win over No. 2 BYU, the roughing-the-kicker call in the second overtime, and where BYU lands in the rankings. The Zaslow thread is gone entirely.

  3. The Dan Le Batard Show, 2026-10-26 (2:45 to 4:51)
    Adds the referees' runoff admission

    Adds a second call on the roughing flag

  5. The Dan Patrick Show, 2026-10-26 (9:46 to 11:04)
    Adds a 2007 comparison to the UCF upset
    Listener calls segment that runs through the weekend's best and worst: the Steelers in Paris, UCF over BYU and USC's missing run game. The UCF portion adds a historical comparison, calling it the first No. 2 upset of that kind since Stanford over USC in 2007, but stays inside the results already on the record.
