There were a lot of rushes — and contention — in the most recent version of the BYU-Utah competition Saturday night.

The undefeated Cougars, who followed 21-10 at halftime, energized to win on a 44-yard Will Ferrin field objective with four seconds to play.

However, the minutes prior to that won't before long be failed to remember in this contention.


The following are three focus points from a game that kept BYU unbeaten at 9-0 while stretching out the Utes' terrible streak to five games.

We'll discuss byu last drive

The Cougars took over at their own 9 following 21-19 with 1:56 excess, and with one break.

However, the show developed well before Ferrin's down victor.

BYU began the drive with three straight deficiencies, and it seemed quarterback Jake Retzlaff had tossed an inadequacy on fourth down — however authorities decided that the Cougars had called a break before the play.


Then on the genuine fourth down play, Retzlaff was sacked by Junior Tafuna and Karene Reid at the BYU 1 — however a banner was tossed.

Utah's Zemaiah Vaughn was required a holding punishment, and that gave BYU a first down at its own 19 — and new life.

The Cougars made use, with Pursue Roberts (a 30-yard get that was inspected prior to standing), Darius Lassiter (12-yard gathering) and Hinckley Ropati (14-yard run) getting BYU into field objective situation with three straight piece plays.

The last details called it a 11-play, 65-yard drive that finished in the game-dominating field objective, yet there's more show and feeling attached to a drive that will live in contention legend.

It ignited Utah athletic chief Imprint Harlan to say the game was "totally taken from us," while Utah mentor Kyle Whittingham, when gotten some information about the directing, said, "It's a ludicrous circumstance. I won't get into it."

Utah's guard came up large in crucial points in time … simply not the final remaining one

For the greater part of the evening, Utah held BYU under control disagreeably.

The Cougars, who had 339 yards of complete offense, didn't score a hostile score until the final quarter, and they were 1 of 12 on third downs.

In any event, when Utah surrendered a few before drives that arrived at the red zone in the first and third quarters, the Utes constrained BYU into field objectives the twice.

Cameron Calhoun likewise captured a two-point endeavor in the final quarter that could have tied the game.

Depend on it, it's an extreme misfortune for the Utes, and Utah — after at first seeming as though it had made the last stop, just to have that cleared out by a punishment — still surrendered a game-dominating drive.

For a significant part of the evening, however, the Utes confounded and rushed Retzlaff, as he finished 15 of 33 passes for 219 yards.

Utah's protection kept it in the game, yet little slip-ups were barely sufficient to sink the Utes eventually.
