The final desperate BYU drive as the fourth quarter was coming to a close. BYU down two points to the utes and in danger of losing. So much on the line for the Cougars, the undefeated record, a shot at the Conference Championship and even, dare we say it, a National Championship. One last drive to win or lose
Fourth down and so far to go. BYU's QB is sacked. Is that the end of the game? Yes, of course. Wait, there is a flag down. A holding call on the utes.The penalty gives BYU a first down. Still so far to go with so little time and no time outs left. A couple of great plays and BYU is in field goal range. Run the clock down so Utah will have no time. It comes down to this. A field goal to win the game. There he is, smiling, laughing Will Ferrin coming onto the field. We need a field goal? No problem, no pressure.
Will Ferrin did what he does, kicked the field goal and ended the game. BYU wins. It's history now.
