BYU overwhelmed UCF 41-21 on Saturday, with the Cougars' dominant second-half performance putting the game out of reach. UCF started strong, scoring 14 points in the first quarter, but BYU responded with 17 second-quarter points to take control. The Cougars' defense then suffocated the Knights in the second half, allowing just seven points in the third quarter while BYU added 21 more points.

LJ Martin led BYU's ground game with 95 rushing yards, while DJ Black paced UCF's receiving corps with 9 catches. The game featured several momentum-shifting plays, including a 55-yard return touchdown by P. Kingston in the third quarter that exemplified BYU's dominance in that period. UCF mounted limited offensive pressure throughout, with quarterback T. Jackson managing the offense but unable to generate sustained drives.

BYU's defense proved particularly stifling in the second half, holding UCF scoreless in the fourth quarter. The contest covered the 17.5-point spread in BYU's favor and cleared the 46.5-point over/under, finishing at 62 total points.
