The Holy War: BYU (6-5) v #17 Utah (8-3) (FoxSports1)

[TrueOrange]

The winner gets the Beehive Boot, maybe, I think? (The rules for that trophy are a little difficult when Utah, BYU, and Utah State haven’t all played each other in a given year.)

Either way, it’s currently 13-0 BYU with 4 minutes left in the 4th quarter.

It’s actually the rivalry’s name:

Holy War (Utah vs. BYU) - Wikipedia

In this rivalry context, the term "Holy War" refers to the fact that BYU is owned and administered by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) and the University of Utah is a public university owned and administered by the State of Utah.

Somehow I honestly never knew that.

 

[TrueOrange]

20-0 BYU at halftime.

 

[BeardedVol]

How BYU can talk any non-Mormon player into coming to that school is beyond my comprehension.

 

[TrueOrange]

27-21 BYU with about 5:26 left in the game. 4th down Utah.

 

[TrueOrange]

Wide open Utah WR gets down to the 5 with 3:12 left in the game.

 

[TrueOrange]

And TD Utah with 3:02 left.

28-27 Utes now.

 

[TrueOrange]

The Utes stuff BYU on 4th and 1. Utah ball with 1:53 left in the game.

 

[TrueOrange]

35-27 Utah but BYU with the ball and 36 more seconds.

 

[TrueOrange]

And Utah sacks BYU on 3rd down. 4th down BYU with 31 seconds left.

 

[TrueOrange]

And BYU’s WR can’t push through the last of the 6 defenders trying to tackle him for that last yard needed on 4th and 7.

Utah will win its 8th straight against BYU, 35-27.
