No. 20 Utah put their stamp on a wild day of college football Saturday night with a thrilling 43–42 upset victory over No. 7 USC.
The Utes rallied from an early 21–7 deficit to tie the game, 35–35, early in the fourth quarter before USC pulled ahead with a 20-yard Caleb Williams touchdown pass. The Utes took over on their own 25-yard line with 6:04 left in regulation and marched 75 yards down the field for a one-yard TD run and a game-winning two-point conversion by quarterback Cameron Rising
“It’s incredible,” Utes coach Kyle Whittingham said on the broadcast after the game. “And on a night where we’re honoring our two fallen teammates and to have it go down in this fashion, this is one of the most exciting games in Rice-Eccles Stadium history.”
