Huge win for BYU!! Also gotta give huge props to Utah’s defense. That’s the best defense we’ve played all year.

Thank you BYU for giving me some sports joy. I don’t get this often with the teams I root for pic.twitter.com/tYc8pmnJkg

I’ll say this: If you would’ve told me BYU would be +2 in turnovers and have a kick return for a TD I would’ve said it’s a blowout win for BYU. Credit to Utah for the game they played.

Whether you're a #BYU fan or a #Utes fan, tonight's game has just added another epic chapter to the #HolyWar. The chippy play, the comeback, the bad calls, the final drive, the press conference drama… its going to live for decades to come when we look back at this rivalry.

BYU 22 Utah 21 Final

The game winning FG in the south end where a BYU game tying FG hit the post in 2012 (after BYU picked up 47 yards on 4th and 12), Unbelievable how this matchup keeps delivering classics. https://t.co/nA0cmrOD6s

BYU looked like they were dead multiple times, but they somehow find a way to keep their undefeated season alive!

If you stayed up until after 2AM EST, you got to see one of the craziest football games you will ever see. Utah fans will have nightmares.pic.twitter.com/s5alVcsdhf

There is absolutely nothing like the BYU v Utah rivalry game.
The unknown QB situation.
The 21 point quarter.
The fantom facemask.
The adjustments.
The kick return for a TD.
The Flag.
The Time Out in the end zone.
The Field Goal.
The Chair.
The Harlan comments.
The fine.

Unreal!
