First quarter

BYU 3, Utah 0

1:05 – BYU is first on the field with a 23-yard field goal by Will Ferrin. BYU 3, Utah 0.

The Cougars drove 57 yards in 12 plays after a Jakob Robinson interception – a drive that included a 14-yard reception by Darius Lassiter that got BYU to the Utah 10.

6:52 – We have the first turnover of the game.

On a trick play, Utah’s Damien Alford passed the ball intended for Micah Bernard, but BYU’s Jakob Robinson intercepted the overthrown pass at the BYU 37.

Bernard remained near the BYU sideline after the game and had to be moved to the Utah sideline because he was walking slowly.
