A 7-6 record is pretty nondescript, but BYU's 7-6 season had plenty of startling moments, from unexpected losses to Toledo and South Florida to these two early-season overtime thrillers. First, the Cougars pulled a rabbit out of their hat in Knoxville, Tennessee. Trailing 16-13 with 17 seconds left, Zach Wilson found Micah Simon for a 64-yard pass out of nowhere.
That set up Jake Oldroyd's tying field goal, and after scoring only one touchdown in regulation, the Cougars scored two in OT to pull off an out-of-nowhere win.
A week later, back at home, they handed USC quarterback Kedon Slovis his first loss, picking off the freshman three times and taking a 27-24 lead late in regulation. The Trojans' Chase McGrath sent the game to overtime with a 52-yard kick, but an Oldroyd field goal and a Dayan Ghanwoloku interception sealed the victory.
