Overview
- Utah erased a halftime deficit and shut out BYU in the second half to secure a 28-20 victory at Rice-Eccles Stadium.
- BYU quarterback Bear Bachmeier threw four interceptions, doubling his season total and directly stalling three promising Cougar drives inside Utah territory.
- Devon Dampier drove the Utes' comeback by passing for 177 yards and two touchdowns and rushing for 87 yards and two more scores.
- Multiple Utah defenders — Trey Reynolds, Lance Holtzclaw, James Chenault Jr., and Nate Ritchie — each intercepted Bachmeier, with Ritchie's pick sealing the game in the final seconds.
- The result gives Utah a 9-0 record and renewed Big 12 and College Football Playoff positioning while leaving BYU at 7-2 and facing clear questions about protecting the ball and sustaining momentum.
