2003 (AFA) — The Utes blow a 23-7 lead and have to go three overtimes to prevail over the pesky Falcons. In the third overtime, AFA's Harridge slips while trying to make it into the end zone on the two-point conversion. On 4th and 1, Utah's Ben Moa plows into the end zone to tie the score and then on the two-point try, fakes the same play, but pulls back and passes to Matt Hansen for the winning score.
