Knocking off BYU has UCF drunk on Scott Frost ladder metaphors and calling it the best day of their lives.
The emotional rollercoaster
UCF fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
UCF took down BYU 39-31 on Saturday, and the fanbase briefly forgot how to brace for disappointment. The turning point wasn't a play so much as the moment the lead held into the fourth and the stadium realized nobody was coming to take it away. One fan called it "maybe the best day of my life," which says plenty about recent autumns in Orlando. Another resurfaced Scott Frost's line about forgetting "to stop when you're happy." At 4-3, happy is worth stopping for.
What fans said
““When you're climbing the ladder of success in life, sometimes they forget to tell you to stop when you're happy.” - Scott Frost on returning to UCF.”
