UCF quarterback Timmy McClain pulls off INSANE fourth-down conversion in defeat against Baylor to leave announcer in disbelief: ‘Oh my goodness!’

UCF Knights quarterback Timmy McClain produced one of the most extraordinary fourth-down conversions ever in their Saturday night defeat by the Baylor Bears.

Despite their eventual 36-35 loss at Bright House Networks Stadium, McClain’s heroics gave the Knights hope of a late comeback having blown a big lead earlier in the game.

With UCF facing fourth and one from its 30-yard line heading into the final minute, McClain retreated back to his own goal line while managing to steer clear of four pass-rushers.

Somehow, the 21-year-old kept his balance despite two Baylor defenders diving at his feet, before he launched a pass to RJ Harvey for the first down.

It was an astonishing piece of play from McClain, whose remarkable conversion left FS1 announcer Eric Collins in disbelief.

As he evaded a host of Baylor defenders while searching for a pass Collins shrieked: ‘McClain! He’s still on his feet! Oh my goodness!’

McClain, the redshirt freshman covering for injured star John Rhys Plumlee, drove his team into field-goal range – albeit a long one.

On the final play of the game, Colton Boomer then missed a 59-yard field goal as Baylor ran out 36-35 winners.

It proved a disappointing night for UCF despite the brilliance of McClain, especially given they held a 35-7 advantage during the third quarter.

They also led 35-10 heading into the fourth before Baylor scored 26 points to turn things around in the final quarter.

Bears quarterback Blake Shapen had a touchdown pass and completed a pair of two-point conversion to reduce the deficit to nine points, before Caden Jenkins returned a fumble for a touchdown to cut it to two.

Isaiah Hankins then scored a 25-yard field goal to edge the visitors ahead with a minute a 21 seconds to play. 

McClain completed 13 of 25 passes for 234 yards and two touchdowns while also adding a rushing touchdown.

Opposite number Shapen finished the game with 21 of 34 for 293 yards and a touchdown.
