The game went into a 54-minute weather delay with 9:01 remaining, with the game resuming after midnight. This came after Utah scored a pair of touchdowns early in the fourth quarter to build a 30-6 lead. Both Utes touchdowns were a result of BYU turnovers, as Zack Moss scored on a 12-yard run following a Cougar fumble and Julian Blackmon scored on a 39-yard pick-six on the next BYU drive, just 31 seconds later.

The Cougars scored their first touchdown of the season — a 10-yard Ty’Son Williams run — to make it 30-12.

After Utah went into halftime with a slim 9-6 lead, an extended drive culminated in a 2-yard touchdown run by Jaylen Dixon. The play was reviewed, as it appeared Dixon may have stepped out of bounds before the ball crossed the goal line, but the call stood as a score to give the Utes a 16-6 advantage.
