Watch: Provo celebrates like it’s 1984 after BYU’s win over Utah

BYU fans will be talking about Saturday night for decades to come.

Thanks to a 44-yard field goal from Will Ferrin in the final seconds of the game, the Cougars pulled off a dramatic come-from-behind victory over rival Utah, immediately cementing the contest as the winningest in the rivalry’s history.

While Kalani Sitake and his team celebrated in Salt Lake City, the Provo faithful at home were in complete hysteria.

Crowds of students and fans near campus danced in the streets, drove around in their cars honking and even fired fireworks into the midnight sky. If the circus or Mardi Gras ever came to Provo, they would never do justice to a scene like this.

The chaos wouldn’t go away anytime soon. When BYU’s team bus returned to Provo around 3 a.m., a huge crowd was waiting to welcome the Cougars home and celebrate with them.

And of course, Ferrin himself was greeted like a true hero as he crowdsurfed through the sea of ​​fans to the choruses of “We love Will!”
