SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - John Beck threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to Jonny Harline with no time remaining to rally No. 21 Brigham Young to a 33-31 win over Utah, ending the Utes' four-year run in the state rivalry with a dramatic finish.
With 3.2 seconds left, BYU (10-2, 8-0) had a final chance from the 11. Beck rolled to his left and was still scrambling to find an open receiver well after time expired. Beck reversed to his right, then threw a pass across his body to Harline, who tucked the ball into his chest while on his knees.
The Cougars erupted in celebration, but needed to take a knee on the point-after attempt to officially end the game.
Utah (7-5, 5-3) had just taken a 31-27 lead on Brett Ratliff's 19-yard pass to Brent Casteel with 1:19 left, but Beck led BYU on a 75-yard drive to win it.
