UCF rallies late, beats BYU 31-24 in overtime

ORLANDO, Fla. -- UCF needed a little extra time to finish off BYU. Justin Holman threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to running back William Stanback on the first possession of overtime to give UCF a 31-24 victory Thursday night. The Knights (3-2) jumped out to an early lead before overcoming a 14-point deficit in the second half to extend the game. After UCF's touchdown in overtime, Christian Stewart 's fourth-down pass for BYU (4-2) fell incomplete in the end zone to end the game. "It's a 60-minute game for a reason," UCF coach George O'Leary said. "That was a great football night if you're sitting in the stands or watching on TV, but it was tough down there on the sidelines. ... This was a great team win. I don't think one side of the ball played great. I think they all played well enough as a team to win the game." Stanback added a rushing touchdown.
