No. 3 Utah stays perfect, ends Holy War skid against No. 7 BYU

The Utah Utes claimed an impressive 28-20 victory over their in-state rivals, the BYU Cougars, in the Holy War, marking their first 9-0 season since 2008. The game, held at Rice–Eccles Stadium, featured a controversial field storm by Utah fans, who stormed the field at triple zero seconds remaining on the clock.

Devon Dampier stood out for Utah, completing 14 of 26 passes for 177 yards and two touchdowns, while contributing 87 yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries. BYU's Bear Bachmeier, however, struggled with four interceptions.

Scalley, Utah's head coach, expressed his pride in the team's performance, emphasizing their cultural connection and determination to continue their success. The Utes' victory was not only a significant win but also a testament to their unwavering commitment to their culture.

The Big 12 Conference, after reviewing footage, may impose a fine on Utah for the field storming. Typically, such incidents result in a $50,000 fine, though the league reviews each case individually. The conference has previously not penalized schools for similar incidents, such as Colorado's fans rushing the field after a home win against Iowa State.
