Utes- you only scored in 1 quarter of the game. BYU gave you the ball THREE times at the 50 or better in the second half. You didnt even get a first down let alone a field goal, which would have won you the game. A holding call is not what lost you the gane. Absolute disgust by the coach and AD to come out and blame it on the refs. No class.
Have you ever seen a ref throw a flag during a Hail Mary? No! And that sack was the game winning play I’ve never seen a flag be thrown on a game winning play ever. Stop this bs!
3rd string quarter back first game. That’s why they didn’t score. He lost his legs in the second half as well. BYU got lucky. Game could have gone either way.
I think your definitely right but also the calls were a little questionable, and even though yeah we could’ve won if we scored more we also could’ve won if they didn’t call that holding, so really the call did cost us the game, like fully had won that was the last play then they called that, so it was fs the call

If you look at the receiver's route, this hold from the DB clearly impeded his movement and he was the primary target for the QB. The receiver creates separation between him and the DB, and the DB grabs his jersey as this happens. This was as textbook as holding can get- not egregious, but textbook.

I’m a die hard Utah fan but I’m kinda glad BYU won. Utah is having a blah season and BYU is killing it. Utah teams have a history of falling significantly when tanked and lose a game. Glad BYU pulled it out.
Yeah, no great camera angle to review it that was shown, but the ref threw the flag right when it happened, not a late flag, so I don't think it was anything suspect with ref's motivations. The only flag I really think has legitimate reason to complain about was the face mask penalty on BYU in the 2nd quarter that they replayed and showed he was holding jersey, not face mask.
Could have called a facemask on 3rd? down as the QB was scrambling to his left when BYU was deep in their end in that last drive. His head swiveled unnaturally to the right as a defender reached at his upper body. Calls missed every game that go against both teams.
Looks at the first 2 BYU timeouts, they couldn't snap the ball because the ref was holding the play for Utah subs while the play clock got down to like 2 seconds, ofc BYU had to call TO
you dont have a game 'stolen' by refs when the opponent's team pinned inside their own 5yd line. utes defense hemmorhaged yards to byu on the final drive.
Whether it comes to some schools like Miami, Texas, Georgia, or BYU in this instance, the referees have repeatedly inserted themselves into big moments in games in order to effect the outcome one way or another. That holding call against Utah on their 4th down stop when the game was effectively over was literally one of the weakest defensive holding calls I have seen in the entire decades I have watched this sport. Especially because they were pretty much unwilling to call offensive holding for the previous 4 quarters. Whether Utah wasted opportunities or "deserved to win" or not is irrelevant- the *actual* game deciding moment was that holding call the officials pulled out. Doesn't matter how good or bad one team or another played, you don't as a referee insert yourself into a game and decide who wins or loses it. That's bad for the sport, it's bad for competition, and it only serves to make the NCAA more money by keeping teams undefeated.
The complaints about the holding call are strange considering that the announcers said at the time that it was obviously a correct call. And after that, BYU still had to gain a lot of yards to get into field goal range and still had to kick a field goal to win.
What part is the strange part? The fans don't want to blame their team for a poor performance outside of the second quarter and the holding call is the easiest scape goat.
Network announcers aren't supposed to criticize. Same as the NFL. The best you'll ever get is "questionable call," which translates to "obviously bs." Not that it was a bad call, just the reasoning behind whether it was good or bad is flawed.
I mean, why did Utah allow BYU to come back in the game? And why didn't the Utea score a single point in the 2nd half? They can blame the refs all they want, but it's their fault for allowing BYU to come from behind and win the game. Not to also mention the bad quarterback play by Utah in the 2nd half.

Was it the ref's fault Utah scored 0 points in the second half? There was a "facemask" call on BYU earlier in the game that was complete garbage. But dealing with the ref's calls is part of the game.
Comparing a face mask penalty in the 1st half is not even comparable to calling a defensive hold on 4th and 10 with a minute and a half left in the game.
@@calvinhobbes6118but that face mask was a tackle for loss on a third down that extended the drive into a touchdown. So overall I’d say that call was more impactful to the game.
@@calvinhobbes6118 Tell your team to not hold on 4th and 10 with a minute and a half left in the game. I mean, he held or he didn't hold. If he held, it should be called. As far as I can see, and the angle wasn't great, it was a hold. And it wasn't even close. Still 2 bad calls against BYU.
A lot of complaining on the holding call yet I hear nothing about that face mask on that 3rd and 15 with BYU in the red zone. Yes BYU did not perform to their best level, but Utah shot themselves in the foot over and over again. Quit complaining, stop throwing fits, and look at yourselves and analyze why you have lost 5 games in a row now.
there is a big difference though in "missed calls" vs made up ones. Would love to see other angles but there is no holding there. And by the way, I'm neutral between these two being an Ag.
Clearly holding. No doubt about it. Anyone who says otherwise is blind or lying to themselves. Then Utah's defense had MANY opportunities to stuff BYU like they had been before but choked. The refs don't make you score 0 points in the second half. Utah should have won this game easily but crumpled BIG time
Really? Utah should have won this? Utah is 4-5 and BYU is 9-0 against teams Utah has lost to. On top of that, Utah has many injuries and had a 3rd string QB starting his first game. If BYU barely held up to this fractured Ute team, they have a rough time ahead. CFP is going to steam roll them.
i think we can be honest here. he contacted the receiver within five yards legally, then briefly held. letter of the law hold? probably so. should it have been called? i think 90% of football fans would agree it probably should not have been. BYU fans can enjoy their win and a great season and admit they caught a break.
I think its a hold but obviously im biased, but if you take into account that BYUs defense didn't allow a point in yhe 2nd half and even after this hold, they still had to go get 50 yards just to kick it.... just saying there are more than just this call that influenced the final score
@@Thehouse385 karma is such Bull shit. IT AINT REAL DAWG there is no such thing as Karma. Unless the refs are saying to themselves. “Oh we mad a bad call there earlier in the game that helped Utah, now let’s help BYU to make it “fair” “ NAH fuck that. The call was absolute garbage
Best rivalry in the country without exception. In part because the teams always fight to a photo finish. When there is a lot on the line, like there was last night, it's beyond memorable. No doubt next year will be just as crazy.
This was an unlucky year for Utah due to their QB getting injured and all the unlucky bounces. Utah is a solid program with a solid coach and normally solid defense and solid run game. This year was just an aberration.
There's SO MANY PEOPLE complaining game was stolen by referees at the end, however, NONE of them are acknowledging the illegal time run off on the clock at the end of the first half. There was 11.5 seconds left on the clock when a false start was called, then they didn't stop the clock til 9 seconds and called a false start time run off of 10 seconds, stripping BYU of a field goal attempt.
@@dpackerman4203 lol how can an entire play play through on a time out? You know that’s trash so shut up lmao and I didn’t even have a side I was rooting for but that last drive by byu the officiating was garbage
@@coreywold669 there was clearly a timeout called before the snap. The live broadcast showed it happening on replay. The BYU coach called timeout and the ref blew the whistle right after. Problem was it was so loud there the players couldn’t hear the whistles. Maybe before you cry about it on the internet you should analyze the situation, because that’s what happened. It’s happened before, even if it’s rare. Sorry not sorry
@@dpackerman4203 LOL when the ball is snapped and the whole play has ran through you shouldn’t get that time out you’re trash and I ain’t even a yewt fan
Didn't know the holding call was controversial, but watching the highlights I clocked it before the flag. Seems legit to me. Utah AD out here embarrassing himself.
Letting the other team say they called a timeout during the play is inexcusable. Also calling the most clean man press a "hold" to save their ass twice is just insane 🤦
I have no horse in this race, but I've seen officiating in all conferences lean towards certain schools for the sake of at least qualifying one team for the CFP. Look at Miami in the ACC, they escaped 3 almost certain losses with at least a little help from the officials. I think it's coming down from the top for the officials to error on the side the top teams.
Living right on the border of Provo. I’m a byu fan, my girlfriend is an Utah fan. My girlfriend is a New Yorker, so she is also a Yankees fan. I am a lifelong dodgers fan… I’m afraid she’s gonna dump me if my teams keep wrecking her teams (or at least squeaking by last minute) 🤣🤣
As a neutral fan byu might be the luckiest team alive this year. 4 close wins against mid or bad teams.. I’d be worried for the playoffs if I were them
Hey at least we have no actual losses against bad teams @Alabama @Miami @NotreDame @TexasAM. Okalahoma St and this I would qualify as mid/bad teams but SMU no way. End of the day a good team can lose to someone way worse on a single gameday. Miami barely beat Virginia Tech, California, and Louisville. I think at the end of the day people expect BYU to lose. Most teams don't get the same accountability held towards them. Miami who today was ranked #4 being a prime example, they had a worse strength of schedule, competed relatively the same with their opponents, yet they are held up to #4. Honestly I think Big10, SEC schools are overrated. There are good athletes all over the place. It really comes down to big plays, play calls, and who wants it more. I think the Vandy/Bama game really highlights this.
Says the BYU fan who won’t criticize BYU AD for banning fan at BYU volleyball game with no evidence of yelling racial slurs to Duke volleyball player. Only later to apologize to banned player when his father threatened lawsuit for defamation. Look it up. Pretty pathetic too.

You can be mad at a call, all fans and players and coaches disagree with ref calls ALL THE TIME. However, if a crucial one doesn’t go your way so be it. After the final whistle lose (and win) with class. Utah coach and AD you have 4 losses in the Big12 ya’ll acting like the call cost you the National Title or something.
@@brookie2532 I’ve said it once and I’ll continue to say it. BYU has one of the worst Fan bases in all of college football. People think “oh there Mormons, they’ve gotta all be good people and have great sportsmanship” nah, y’all have some of the worst sportsmanship in all of college football. Utah fans are bad too. To an extent. But also, when byus team themselves has said it wasn’t a good call. You know it’s a bad call. Fuck off bitch🖕
When I heard the AD go ballistic, I immediately came to the highlights and said, “that was it?” Maybe Utah doesn’t belong in p4 conference, cause that stuff happens to everyone. It’s not like they gave BYU a 5th down
I hope BYU wins a playoff game in the CFP but this game and a few others show that they likely won’t hold up. Playing a third string QB with his first start. Lost his legs in the second half. BYU QB is not good under pressure.
It’s not like Utah didn’t have opportunities still to hold and stop BYU. BYU had no timeouts. They were holding them all game . No excuses Fruitah! Take your L and go sleep! 🤣🤣 COOGS NATION! 💙🤙🏾
Where can I find the last five minutes in their entirety? This video cut out the play-that-wasn't because of Kalani's timeout call before the snap. That was an important setup to the emotions around the 4th down holding call.
Very similar to defensive holding calls in the NFL like when the Rams win the SB or when the chiefs need a little extra. Those defensive holding calls always come up at the end of big, close games.
Joel Klatt nailed it. The issue isn’t this one particular call, it’s the fact that they hadn’t called this ALL GAME! In other words, they’d been letting them play, there was only one PI called all game and then at the most crucial time some ref decides to go by the letter of the law when you hadn’t done that all game. You established a style of play, then you changed it at the end. That the issue 😮
The stadiums are about 25-30 miles from each other. I lived there for about 15 years, graduated from BYU, and will be going back in a couple of months. So believe me, the drive from stadium to stadium is shorter than alot of people’s daily commute to work there. When these teams play each other in Provo(BYU’s stadium) the same can be said for the level of support for Utah.
Debatable but even if it was the refs missed tons of call then decided to nit pic the last play of the game and save byus butt, a little annoying but good game
With all due respect. Utah needs to make a head coaching change. You are in the massive Big 12 now, that pitty pat, ring a bell get a cookie type offense and defense is not going to do it. You need a power running game and massive type corners and linebackers to win in this league. The passion towards the refs at the end of the game should be put into your program and players. Just saying with all due respect, if not go back to the PAC 12 where that type of football will win you numerous conference championships.
"Utah took advantage of a big break - Glasker apparently sacked Rose for a big loss, but officials flagged Glasker for a facemask penalty that didn’t appear to be legitimate - and quickly went 45 yards to become the first team all season to go up two scores on BYU." - Jay Drew, Deseret News
5:10 AD Mark Harlan and Head Coach Kyle Whittingham’s behavior is ridiculous as well as their post-game commentary. Hard to respect a program when you can’t respect the people who run it.
I get everyone wants to talk about the holding call, but why is no one talking about the textbook intentional grounding call? Even the biased byu announcer screams “no one is over there.” Baylor loses against byu for a similar intentional grounding call and byu gets away with it here. Pretty typical for byu all season if you ask me. One of, if not the luckiest college football team this season
No it isn't. Nobody cares about this game outside of the state. Only reason people not associated with the state watched is because there was nothing else to watch.
It seems they have been lucky for 9 games straight lol Well, byu is not Miami where they have a crazy good offense and qb but trash defense. Byu is average in all three phases of their football team, offense, defense, and special. When i say average, i mean, they are good enough to win in any given Saturday.
@65thE5 this is such a ridiculous comment. Im not an sec fan at all but they recruit the best get the most draft picks and have the most schools capable of winning a title.

One of the worst played games of football I have ever witnessed. And yet, I have not enjoyed a football game that thoroughly in a long time. Go cougs.
Ok nick saban thanks for your knowledge
@@jakejake6210 Wow, high praise!
??… wasn’t crappy playing at all few tackles missed and retslaf kinda became inept when he scrambled but other than that it was pretty on par
I mean it is a rivalry game
Let 😮
Great way to end the night after not being able to catch the other good games today
Was it the ref's fault Utah scored 0 points in the second half? There was a "facemask" call on BYU earlier in the game that was complete garbage. But dealing with the ref's calls is part of the game.
exactly, any pootah fans that say otherwise are delusional. 9-0 baby
Yeah and a garbage PI call that extended a Utah drive too
Comparing a face mask penalty in the 1st half is not even comparable to calling a defensive hold on 4th and 10 with a minute and a half left in the game.
@@calvinhobbes6118but that face mask was a tackle for loss on a third down that extended the drive into a touchdown. So overall I’d say that call was more impactful to the game.
@@calvinhobbes6118 Tell your team to not hold on 4th and 10 with a minute and a half left in the game. I mean, he held or he didn't hold. If he held, it should be called. As far as I can see, and the angle wasn't great, it was a hold. And it wasn't even close. Still 2 bad calls against BYU.
A lot of complaining on the holding call yet I hear nothing about that face mask on that 3rd and 15 with BYU in the red zone. Yes BYU did not perform to their best level, but Utah shot themselves in the foot over and over again. Quit complaining, stop throwing fits, and look at yourselves and analyze why you have lost 5 games in a row now.
there is a big difference though in "missed calls" vs made up ones. Would love to see other angles but there is no holding there. And by the way, I'm neutral between these two being an Ag.
We can yell about penalties all night, but Utah didn’t score in the second half
Every single commentator and sports analyst said that was a clear hold. You obviously don’t know football.
That was Sweet!!! Watching games for 40+ years… Late night football kicks ass…
Absolute nailbiter.
I'm glad to see that some of the Utah players showed class and sportsmanship after it was over. Too bad the AD and coach couldn't do the same.
BYU pulls it out again!!! Remarkable, it would almost feel like a dream become reality if the Cougs met with the Buffs in the Big 12 Championship🔥
It's what the Big 12 wants
Even all the TV networks are dreaming of an undefeated BYU vs 1-loss Colorado Buffs TV ratings bonanza.
It's likely to happen. And I'll be there.
Another classic rivalry game -- in this case, the Holy War. You can throw out the records in those kind of games.
Why is it called the Holy war? The only church that lets you have 5 wives is the church of satan.
I live in both worlds--I have grad degrees from BYU and the U of U!
And...
The "Storming Mormons"!!!
I am no fan of either team, but seeing Utah fans crying over a correct call is amazing😂. Learn the game and accept it. Very simple.
Don't want hold call on 4th down? Maybe don't hold :)
That’s that KC Chiefs timely call to allow BYU to continue play smh
Clearly holding. No doubt about it. Anyone who says otherwise is blind or lying to themselves. Then Utah's defense had MANY opportunities to stuff BYU like they had been before but choked. The refs don't make you score 0 points in the second half. Utah should have won this game easily but crumpled BIG time
Really? Utah should have won this? Utah is 4-5 and BYU is 9-0 against teams Utah has lost to. On top of that, Utah has many injuries and had a 3rd string QB starting his first game. If BYU barely held up to this fractured Ute team, they have a rough time ahead. CFP is going to steam roll them.
@@phillipcook3430bro doesn’t know what a rivalry game is. Anything can happen during those games😊
i think we can be honest here. he contacted the receiver within five yards legally, then briefly held. letter of the law hold? probably so. should it have been called? i think 90% of football fans would agree it probably should not have been. BYU fans can enjoy their win and a great season and admit they caught a break.
- yes, I'm BYU fan but they will have a very difficult time when they play any team in the top 10 -- they will need alot of luck 😢 --
I think its a hold but obviously im biased, but if you take into account that BYUs defense didn't allow a point in yhe 2nd half and even after this hold, they still had to go get 50 yards just to kick it.... just saying there are more than just this call that influenced the final score
LOL. This was a call on 4th and 10 where the QB was sacked and Utah had the game won if not for that call.
You cant even compare the two.
@calvinhobbes6118 nice hypothetical, but the penalty WAS called so the game was not over
@@calvinhobbes6118after that call, espn said Utah still had a 90% chance to win. They lost the game themselves

After all, it wouldnt be the first time a Jew led Gods people through the red sea and led them into the promised land after 40 years
Utah got a lot of calls for them so the holding call was karma - even if it was wild.
@@Thehouse385 karma is such Bull shit. IT AINT REAL DAWG there is no such thing as Karma. Unless the refs are saying to themselves. “Oh we mad a bad call there earlier in the game that helped Utah, now let’s help BYU to make it “fair” “ NAH fuck that. The call was absolute garbage
This is what rivalry is about! Taking something in controversy! What a start to a yearly game that will just get better and better!!!
For Utah fans complaining about the hold,
Don't blame the refs when you did yourselves no favors
Exactly. Utah should have blown us out of the water. We were playing that badly. They just choked
Playing bad or just not used to really good defense?
We won the game twice... What happened before that doesn't matter they got bailed out
@@its.that-time just like in the 2018 Pac-12 title game, you can't blame just the refs and call it a day, Ute.
@@leifopstad2972 We can if we won the game twice, and BYU got bailed out twice.
Best rivalry in the country without exception. In part because the teams always fight to a photo finish. When there is a lot on the line, like there was last night, it's beyond memorable. No doubt next year will be just as crazy.
It was a good run for Utah's football program. They are the new Nebraska for the next decade. You heard it here first.
This was an unlucky year for Utah due to their QB getting injured and all the unlucky bounces. Utah is a solid program with a solid coach and normally solid defense and solid run game. This year was just an aberration.
@@SO-jp6gh bad luck doesn't result in 5 losses. Complete incompetence by coaching, players, and everything in between. This program is done.
Not scoring in the 2nd half hurt more than ONE CALL
I don’t even think you can call this a full ending. This was way too close for no reason. This might be the best holy war in rivalry history
It's not.
Beck to Harline was pretty good.
I think when they don't let the coach call timeout during the fucking play its a good game. Big 12 ruined it to save their top 10 team.
@@its.that-time dude.... they showed the replay and it was very clear the timeout was called BEFORE the play started.
@toddnorth4296 stop gaslighting. I saw it called late live
I remember a BYU v BSU game where field goals were the only points and missing field goals. BYU winning with field goal is awesome
There's SO MANY PEOPLE complaining game was stolen by referees at the end, however, NONE of them are acknowledging the illegal time run off on the clock at the end of the first half. There was 11.5 seconds left on the clock when a false start was called, then they didn't stop the clock til 9 seconds and called a false start time run off of 10 seconds, stripping BYU of a field goal attempt.
One of the best BYU games I've ever watched... Go cougs.
It’s nice when you get 5 downs lol that time out was a disgrace
@@coreywold669 thank Utah for the extra down. Not the refs.
@@dpackerman4203 lol how can an entire play play through on a time out? You know that’s trash so shut up lmao and I didn’t even have a side I was rooting for but that last drive by byu the officiating was garbage
@@coreywold669 there was clearly a timeout called before the snap. The live broadcast showed it happening on replay. The BYU coach called timeout and the ref blew the whistle right after. Problem was it was so loud there the players couldn’t hear the whistles. Maybe before you cry about it on the internet you should analyze the situation, because that’s what happened. It’s happened before, even if it’s rare. Sorry not sorry

Didn't know the holding call was controversial, but watching the highlights I clocked it before the flag. Seems legit to me. Utah AD out here embarrassing himself.
When a team with class looses you never hear the coaches act like this sad shows the class of the the program
Utah has been disappointing this season but giving up a 21-point lead is just inexcusable.
They only had an 11-point lead into the second half
lol there never was a 21 point lead….
Hey genius they never had a 21 point lead, what game did you watch? Lmao doofus.
Keep on dreaming….Utah didn’t score a point in the second half and they were Never ahead by 21 points.
Letting the other team say they called a timeout during the play is inexcusable. Also calling the most clean man press a "hold" to save their ass twice is just insane 🤦
"AHUT" fellas at 5:39 ... AHUT indeed.
I'm guessing those were the middle 4 guys for UTAH UTES
@@leogetz3570 No they were just Utah before that and broke formation, lol.
I have no horse in this race, but I've seen officiating in all conferences lean towards certain schools for the sake of at least qualifying one team for the CFP. Look at Miami in the ACC, they escaped 3 almost certain losses with at least a little help from the officials. I think it's coming down from the top for the officials to error on the side the top teams.
Then why did the really bad calls go against BYU? I'm an Aggie alum so no bias on my part.
Living right on the border of Provo. I’m a byu fan, my girlfriend is an Utah fan.
My girlfriend is a New Yorker, so she is also a Yankees fan. I am a lifelong dodgers fan…
I’m afraid she’s gonna dump me if my teams keep wrecking her teams (or at least squeaking by last minute) 🤣🤣
As a neutral fan byu might be the luckiest team alive this year. 4 close wins against mid or bad teams.. I’d be worried for the playoffs if I were them
See that’s the really weird thing about byu is they play so good against good teams but lose focus against easy teams
Nah. Miami definitely was
Hey at least we have no actual losses against bad teams @Alabama @Miami @NotreDame @TexasAM. Okalahoma St and this I would qualify as mid/bad teams but SMU no way. End of the day a good team can lose to someone way worse on a single gameday. Miami barely beat Virginia Tech, California, and Louisville.
I think at the end of the day people expect BYU to lose. Most teams don't get the same accountability held towards them. Miami who today was ranked #4 being a prime example, they had a worse strength of schedule, competed relatively the same with their opponents, yet they are held up to #4.
Honestly I think Big10, SEC schools are overrated. There are good athletes all over the place. It really comes down to big plays, play calls, and who wants it more. I think the Vandy/Bama game really highlights this.
@@ericmartin402Who is a good team that they have beaten?
Is it only luck? Or are they just a resilient group who never quits? I say it’s definitely both and you gotta give them credit
2 straight against Utah, 9 straight for the season. Good year to be a Cougar!

As a TCU fan, the BYU Utah game is such a monumental addition to Big 12, 50 years from now they will still be talking about it,
The call was not the problem for the U... The problem was zero defense as Y marched down the field
Preach. Say it louder for Utah's AD
Says the BYU fan who won’t criticize BYU AD for banning fan at BYU volleyball game with no evidence of yelling racial slurs to Duke volleyball player. Only later to apologize to banned player when his father threatened lawsuit for defamation. Look it up. Pretty pathetic too.

You can be mad at a call, all fans and players and coaches disagree with ref calls ALL THE TIME. However, if a crucial one doesn’t go your way so be it. After the final whistle lose (and win) with class. Utah coach and AD you have 4 losses in the Big12 ya’ll acting like the call cost you the National Title or something.

@@brookie2532 I’ve said it once and I’ll continue to say it. BYU has one of the worst Fan bases in all of college football.

To an extent. But also, when byus team themselves has said it wasn’t a good call. You know it’s a bad call. Fuck off bitch🖕

Literally thought the 4th and 10 sack ended it and my parlay was toast so I turned this game off… what a marvelous thing to wake up to
That facemask call was the worst call of the game.
When I heard the AD go ballistic, I immediately came to the highlights and said, “that was it?”
Maybe Utah doesn’t belong in p4 conference, cause that stuff happens to everyone. It’s not like they gave BYU a 5th down
Thank goodness for that holding call against Utah, and BYUs Special Teams.
I hope BYU wins a playoff game in the CFP but this game and a few others show that they likely won’t hold up.
Playing a third string QB with his first start. Lost his legs in the second half. BYU QB is not good under pressure.
Good game glad BYU was able to pull it off Utes played a great game!

Where can I find the last five minutes in their entirety? This video cut out the play-that-wasn't because of Kalani's timeout call before the snap. That was an important setup to the emotions around the 4th down holding call.

Very similar to defensive holding calls in the NFL like when the Rams win the SB or when the chiefs need a little extra. Those defensive holding calls always come up at the end of big, close games.
I look forward to BYU vs. ASU now.
Joel Klatt nailed it. The issue isn’t this one particular call, it’s the fact that they hadn’t called this ALL GAME! In other words, they’d been letting them play, there was only one PI called all game and then at the most crucial time some ref decides to
go by the letter of the law when you hadn’t done that all game. You established a style of play, then you changed it at the end. That the issue 😮

The stadiums are about 25-30 miles from each other. I lived there for about 15 years, graduated from BYU, and will be going back in a couple of months. So believe me, the drive from stadium to stadium is shorter than alot of people’s daily commute to work there. When these teams play each other in Provo(BYU’s stadium) the same can be said for the level of support for Utah.
On the defensive holding call BYU's OL was holding at least two UU players. The plays before that they were getting beat and holding.
Holding was the right call
Debatable but even if it was the refs missed tons of call then decided to nit pic the last play of the game and save byus butt, a little annoying but good game
@thomasgoeckeritz9198 how is that debatable he literally held the guy and made the byu wr studder
Not at all. Game changing calls like that shouldn't be iffy. That one was.
Most clean man press ever (if you know what that is)
This was such a fun game to watch as a football fan
thats crazy i turned off the tv a second before they said a flag on the play
Same
Us too!
Me too!
Absolutely the craziest game I have ever watched!!
If that wasn’t divine intervention, then I don’t know what is.
With all due respect. Utah needs to make a head coaching change. You are in the massive Big 12 now, that pitty pat, ring a bell get a cookie type offense and defense is not going to do it. You need a power running game and massive type corners and linebackers to win in this league. The passion towards the refs at the end of the game should be put into your program and players. Just saying with all due respect, if not go back to the PAC 12 where that type of football will win you numerous conference championships.
Totally agree. Utah plays AND behaves like a Mountain West team. They play and behave like sore losers.
Utah is getting what they deserve.
"Utah took advantage of a big break - Glasker apparently sacked Rose for a big loss, but officials flagged Glasker for a facemask penalty that didn’t appear to be legitimate - and quickly went 45 yards to become the first team all season to go up two scores on BYU." - Jay Drew, Deseret News
5:10 AD Mark Harlan and Head Coach Kyle Whittingham’s behavior is ridiculous as well as their post-game commentary. Hard to respect a program when you can’t respect the people who run it.
Ya, I see him acting like a jackass wagging his finger in the refs face.
Love to see byu win
But hard to see Utah lose the upset for a penalty away from the ball.
I get everyone wants to talk about the holding call, but why is no one talking about the textbook intentional grounding call? Even the biased byu announcer screams “no one is over there.” Baylor loses against byu for a similar intentional grounding call and byu gets away with it here. Pretty typical for byu all season if you ask me. One of, if not the luckiest college football team this season
Maybe the ref thought he was outside the pocket when the ball was thrown.. you will have to ask the officiating crew.
