Utah went three-and-out on the ensuing series. BYU's offense responded to the defensive success by putting together a sustained drive that covered 75 yards on nine plays. A third-down pass interference call on Utah's Brice McCain gave the Cougars first-and-goal on the 2-yard line. Unga ran into the end zone on the next play.
Payne's extra-point kick followed as BYU pulled even at 17-17 with 6:26 to go in the second quarter.
It didn't stay that way for long. Before the half was complete, Utah scored 10 unanswered points to regain the lead. Both scores came in the final 1:41 — on a 35-yard field goal by Sakoda and a 32-yard touchdown pass from Johnson to David Reed.
The latter followed an interception by Dale and a personal foul on Hall that gave the Utes possession on the Cougar 44. Three plays later, Johnson connected with Reed in the end zone.
