ORLANDO, Fla. – BYU football views every week as a “statement” or, more recently, a “Super Bowl.”
The latest coming on Saturday, where No. 11 BYU took down UCF 37-24 in “Super Bowl No. 8.”
After taking down the Knights, BYU improves to 8-0 on the season and is now 5-0 in Big 12 play.
Social media was buzzing with reactions to BYU’s performance throughout and after the game.
One of the highlights that captured the college football world’s attention was the fake field goal attempt. Holder Sam Vander Haar took the snap, then tossed it between his legs to kicker Will Ferrin. Ferrin then took off with the ball and ran for a first down.

NEVER DOUBT

Really impressed with BYU. After being pretty fortunate to win last week, Cougars had a long trip to face an underachieving yet talented UCF squad. BYU stormed out to 17-0 lead and was never really challenged.

BYU football takes its perfect record into a bye week. After the bye, they will face rival Utah in two weeks in Salt Lake City.
