joe schad reporting that kalani sitake is who they're in negotiations with and spent ten years coaching on the sideline and head coach and defensive coordinator at oregon state and right now houme is running between the press box and field to watch his team play. >> brent: second and 14 for the utes and now it is going to be -- hold on, there is a penalty flag is thrown, kenneth scott was being covered coming down the sideline and you have just said it many times they're trying to pick on hannemann. >> jesse: that's the guy they've gone after. >> referee: pass interference, defense, number 7. 15-yard penalty. automatic first down. >> jesse: travis wilson trying to take a shot to kenneth scott running a go route here. got his head turned back and both hands in on the body and can't locate the football and there's --
7:01 pm
him like that. >> jesse: definite contact and hannemann has to know better to play that cleaner and on a second and long situation they help out utah. >> brent: first down and ten for the utes, play action. wilson has his underneath man and for a good gain on first down, you could see that play coming from a mile away. >> jesse: travis wilson is a situation, the game he's got to be on, only four-year starter in utah history. i think his career would be defined as one where he's shown tremendous toughness and resiliency. he's been through it all. a serious head injury in his sophomore career almost ended his career and overcame that but because of inconsistent play he's been criticized often. every off-season he's had to rewin his job and here he is in his final holy war up two touchdowns, he'll have to play well to close it out and get the "w". >> brent: second down and five. first down is critical for utah.
7:02 pm
a host of blue jerseys. meeting him in the hole and now it is third down coming up here for wilson and the utes. >> jesse: if i were byu i would give hannemann some help. their cornerback, number 7, left him out on some critical third downs in these scenarios. safety help, linebacker help underneath. right now matched up against the true freshman, 6'4", tyron smith that's got a tremendous catch radius and man-to-man situation and a place i guarantee travis wilson is thinking about. if he's going to throw this. >> brent: third down, here comes the blitz, wilson underneath has got the first down and then some. out of bounds around midfield was joe williams as the rush came to him and then wilson just ate it up. >> jesse: it's a nice job by
7:03 pm
whenever you're setting up the screen you have to hold on to the ball till the last possible second. draw those defenders into you as much as you can and negotiate the throw. that's not always easy to do when you've got bronson kaufusi at 6'8" right in your face, a little sidearm delivery to get that out to his running back was nice by wilson. >> brent: huge first down here. scott moves in motion for the utes. just across midfield. that's hannemann off a corner blitz, and he destroyed the quarterback. back at the 35 yard line. wilson is forced to hang on to that football. >> jesse: gutsy call by utah. up two touchdowns. seven minutes to go and you're throwing the football on first down. coming right off the edge. a change-up. talked about how byu is so multiple. they bring pressures from all over the yard. linebacker, safeties, cornerbacks and hannemann has been picked on in the passing game today making a great play
7:04 pm
>> brent: now 6:48 left. byu, their defense lines up. utah facing a second and 19. now they come back with williams and he gets back to midfield near the -- about two yards shy. third down and 12. kaufusi making another stop. >> jesse: clock management is key here and utah and travis wilson have to do a better job of snapping the football with close to no time left on the play clock. it's byu that has to go fast. they're down two touchdowns. important utah -- i know they like to go up tempo themselves but they've got to slow it way down right now to suffocate bronco mendenhall and this byu team. >> brent: third down and 12. wilson steps away from the
7:05 pm
but he is short of the first down so now you've got a fourth down and inches situation with a great punter like hackett. you try and bury byu inside the 10 or try to pick up -- looks like they'll try to go for it on a fourth and short. >> jesse: the last time during this scenario they didn't block bronson kaufusi and made a big stop. no matter what get a hat on number 90 and byu has lined up, it looks like, in the interior of the defensive line anticipating run. >> brent: now they're letting it run down. >> jesse: this is a huge fourth down here. >> brent: absolutely. >> jesse: if you convert it. >> brent: he's going to stop it. >> jesse: you could eat up a lot of clock if you're able to convert. definitely worth burning a time-out. >> brent: now brings the offense over to the sideline here on fourth down and short. up two touchdowns, five minutes. there's a holy fourth down
7:06 pm

7:08 pm
>> jesse: i'm going to tell you this critical fourthnd one, scenario would love to have devontae booker in their backfield. one of the really good runners. joe williams lined up beside wilson. >> brent: and did they stop him? the cougars think so. let's see where it's spotted. the forward progress. that is critical here. cougar sideline still thinks he's come up short. you can see them signaling. how huge is this. they'll bring the chains up.
7:09 pm
little short. >> jesse: logan taele did an unbelievable job fighting off two blockers and anchoring in the middle so there was no push and allowed the linebackers including manoa pikula to come in and make a play. this is close. >> brent: nope. nope. >> jesse: number 62 makes this play. logan taele. >> brent: i'll go back to your point about booker. it's such a good one, second fourth and one that byu has suffered in the last two drives. >> jesse: i really believe if booker is in the game he's the guy that can kind of get the push, get the forward leaning momentum. so many yards he was able to get this offense but i'll go back to taele. he takes on two blockers at the point of attack. and that cleaned it up for two linebackers to play downhill and make that stop. huge play by byu's "d." >> brent: five minutes to work
7:10 pm
going one-on-one and deep jump ball and kurtz was the receiver. no penalty flag. porter had the coverage. >> jesse: i think utah has to defense. talked about all game long letting their corners outside play man-to-man. that's got to stop. now is the time where you back off, get two safeties to get double coverage help on guys like nick kurtz and mitch mathews because it just takes one, it takes one play for them to come down with it and they're in the end zone. got to be defensive. >> brent: dropped. perfect strike and juergens turned to move and dropped the football so here comes your third and ten. that pass rush again for utah critical. >> jesse: fitts, jason fanaika, off the edge. has to make -- disrupt the timing of tanner mangum. get him off his launch point.
7:11 pm
pocket. >> brent: third down. diving for it is houk. got the first down. terrific run after the catch. moved the chains and here come the cougars again. >> jesse: he's too big. he's got a nine-inch height advantage over the slot defender justin thomas and just can't defend him. he's got too big of a body. can't tackle him. advantage at receiver. it's big. >> brent: five receivers out. putting heat on the cougars' offensive line. >> jesse: got to go, though, you got to hurry up if you're byu. too much time. that took way too much time to get lined up. >> brent: middle incomplete and there was pressure by that defensive front. what a luxury and now we've got an injured norris. one of their fine linebackers.
7:12 pm
didn't need medical attention. tough. >> jesse: second team all-conference player. this situation is critical for utah's defense to have him on the field. >> brent: the cougars have got to pick it up. need not one score but two to get back into it. play action, looking deep. throws that jump ball into the right corner. blackmon, first and goal at the 4 yard line. how about that? >> jesse: you've got to have safety help if you're utah. you cannot allow your cornerbacks to stay outside one-on-one trying to fight with these cornerbacks. that is the perfect throw from tanner mangum. it's basically a punt but he's allowing his receiver blackmon to turn around and locate defender on the play, marcus williams, the safety, just can't locate the ball and there's the
7:13 pm
>> brent: clock is down to 3:38. that five-yard play made it first and goal. incomplete and bernard was the target, slipping out of that backfield again. i got to tell you when they pick the mvp even though he threw those pick sixes in the first quarter, you're going to have at least consider mangum. >> jesse: i don't think he threw a bad interception. a lot were tipped. deflected at the line of scrimmage. a guy kind of hit his arm. but i'll tell you he's battled this entire game. something tanner mangum has done all season long. got thrown into the fire week one against nebraska. battled every week. >> brent: second down and goal. mangum on a draw. did he get it? juggling the ball. touchdown is the signal. they give him the touchdown. i was waiting for the linesman
7:14 pm
>> jesse: reminds me of john elway in the super bowl against the green bay packers where he dove and he got helicoptered. slides backwards all game long. ooh. i think the football might have just been a tad short of that goal line, brent, before it became dislodged. watch the nose of the ball. oh, no, it broke. >> brent: there's in question. it's a touchdown. >> jesse: it broke before his knee hit the ground. it comes loose after. it's not going to be ruled a fumble. the question did the ball break the plane before his knee hit. the ruling on the field is a touchdown. something they'll take a look at. what can you say about byu here in the second half? 28 points, brent. >> brent: this might not make it. might not get back but i got to tell you something, i have been around many teams that have played their hearts out like this down 35-0 in the first quarter so that matter what happens here hats off to them.
7:15 pm
this great, great rivalry, doesn't it? >> brent: it sure does. >> jesse: the holy war. i wish more college football fans knew about it. rivalries like this. >> referee: after review the ruling on the field is confirmed. touchdown. head-on look from the back of the end zone that shows his knee doesn't touch. better angle to show the football breaks the plane. what a game. this has been awesome. >> brent: trevor samson tacks it on. a one-score game. let's check in with john saunders in the studio. big john. >> brent, you're providing excitement once again as expected.
7:16 pm
against app last state, lam picked off by poling taking it back for a touchdown. and we'll continue to update that one. meanwhile, you can see arizona hold on for the victory. brent, back to you. >> brent: you are looking live at the royal purple loil and look what we found. a one-score game. now, jesse. do they onsidic can. their defense has played so well. you got 3:23. you can afford -- utah thinks it's going to be onside. >> jesse: you got two time-outs in your back pocket with the way the defense is playing, absolutely kick it down the field, play defense trusting that tanner mangum is at least going to get one more
7:17 pm
>> brent: there is a lot of daylight just behind that front if they can get the ball up in the air and chase it down. one deep now. one deep man standing back by the utes. 24 yard line. they got to kick the line drive. it was close to that marker. 6 they're conferring here to zone. penalty, oh, my goodness. >> jesse: what a mistake by byu. >> brent: the one thing you can't do is kick that ball out of bounds. >> referee: out of bounds. on the kicking team. >> brent: i have to say it was so close. when i watched that take a look at this, jesse. i want to make absolutely certain. >> jesse: it's definitely close. it's hard to tell. you know, from that it did look
7:18 pm
from these angles definitely difficult to see but you know my point, brent. why not just kick it straight down the field. just kick it overtop. >> brent: nobody back there. just kick it and it hits the ground and get down on coverage. >> jesse: an automatic touchback. >> brent: here we go. 3:23 to go. here comes the blitz. they blitz the run. great by williams. good first down run. >> jesse: they're going to put it in his hands and again joe williams has to be good with ball security. he fumbled twice in the last two games. ball security right now, goes without saying is at a premium for utah. >> brent: you know, i want to talk about virginia.
7:19 pm
charltonsville i heard fans say, oh, no. i'll tell you right now bronco mendenhall is a quality, quality person and very good football coach. this team did not quit on him today when they were out of it, 35-0. you have hired yourself an outstanding head coach and remember he's going to bring six aassistants with him to charlottesville coming in and coach ruffin is coming in to help him also, he retained one of the coaches and let's take a look. this is the staff that's going with bronco at the end of this game, ruffin mcneal was hired. haggans was retained from that coaching staff so second down now for utah.ans was retained from that coaching staff so second down now for utah. second down and four. slips a tackle. didn't get the first down.
7:20 pm
remember, they have stopped them twice on fourth down because perhaps the best weapon in tom hackett. >> jesse: right. here's an interesting dilemma if you're utah. obviously you're going to run the football. the question is which direction do you run it? in my opinion the best side of utah's offensive line in the run game is the left side. sam tevi very and isaac asiata. that's the side that bronson kaufusi will line up because he always lines up to the field. >> brent: a new definition of new year's eve as the new year's six and two of the best days you could ever have if you're a college football fan. there's your new year's lineup. there's your new year's day lineup. i can't remember six better games ever in a two-day period. >> jesse: epic. must watch tv. we talked about the semifinal games. houston is an excellent team and will give florida state
7:21 pm
two of the most storied programs in history. stanford and iowa is a tremendous physical clash in matchup and then you have oklahoma state, lost their final two games in ole miss. one. late pitch, williams got the angle for the first down. >> jesse: ran to the left side. to the field attacking bronson kaufusi but running with the option and it was sae tautu. watch 31. he's the guy that travis wilson will read. holes it till the last second gives it to williams. the advantage he has over devontae booker. might not be as powerful but faster and that was a perfect play call. don't go inside the tackles where they've been stopped. >> brent: first down and ten from the 47 yard line from the
7:22 pm
first down. williams bursts -- two good games on first down. that just makes it so much easier when you're trying to kill the clock. byu out of time-outs. >> jesse: if i could say something in the big picture of college football. rivalry games make this sport great and feel like conference realignment as fans we got robbed of some great games, oklahoma/ oklahoma/ oklahoma/texas a&m and we didn't get this last year or during the regular season. lucky to get it today. we'll get it next year. the future scheduling is uncertain. i hope these two schools can figure it out and put it back on the map. one of my favorite games of the year. >> brent: amen. second down and five. williams, bursts for the first down. >> jesse: that's going to do it, i think.
7:23 pm
and run this clock out. 15 times in the last 18 games the holy war comes down to seven points or last. tremendous job by joe williams finding the crease. up 35-0. byu stormed back at the end of the day. kyle whittingham and his team were able to hold on to take it home. >> brent: byu with 386 yards of offense. utah with 199 but they wrap up consecutive royal purple las vegas bowl victories. kyle whittingham beats his alma mater but it wasn't easy. byu did not give up. demonstrated great heart against the utes who were favored only by a couple in this game and it looked like it was going to be a blow-out early and the cougars
7:24 pm
late touchdown in the first half and sort of gave them a life and then they shut utah out in the second half but they could not overcome as you seldom can five turnovers on their first five possessions. the great coach nick saban, ask him about turnovers, mississippi and five so utah with back-to-back victories here in las vegas and head coaches will meet to shake hands and a reminder to fans tune in to espn3 for the postgame trophy ceremony presented by capital one immediately following this game. there are the players. you know what i love about the end of this one, folks, is that we do not have any extracurricular activities. there's a some great friends on the team. they're shaking hands. we didn't have a lot of ugly personal fouls as we go down
7:25 pm
winning coach. >> maria: you were up big early but it's a rivalry game and they stormed back. what's going through your mind? >> a little ridiculous on our part to go out 35-0 and have it end like this. shouldn't have been that way. credit them for hanging in there, never giving up. continuing to fight and we got some -- we got some things to fix with our offense, no doubt about that. >> maria: what allowed your team to hang on to that lead despite the fact it went down? >> just enough left in the tank. we got a lot of seniors taking a lot of pride in what they're doing. defense, what did we have, five straight takeaways like we talked about at halftime but a win can a win and that's all that matters, but interesting, it could be this close after getting out to a 35-0 lead. >> maria: ends up being a ten-win season. best finish since joining the league. what will this season be defined by? >> i don't know what it will be defined by but another step in a positive direction.
7:26 pm
the pac-12, ten wins and hopefully we can build on this for next year. >> maria: thanks for your time. congrats. >> thank you, appreciate it. >> brent: so our capital one player of the game, a young man by the name of tevin carter from los angeles, california, number 9. he intercepted two passes in that barrage of turnovers on the cougars first five possessions. and on the firstone, tevin carter was able to take it back on a pick six. what a day for carter. >> jesse: great day for carter and this defense and led the pac-12 in takeaways this year and ultimate the five turnovers and five consecutive possessions leading to five immediate touchdowns by utah, that was the big difference in this addition of the holy war. >> brent: so an era comes to an end at byu. bronco mendenhall coaches his
7:27 pm
his staff will head to charlottesville, virginia, the head coach of the virginia cavaliers and everybody says the next coach at byu will be kalani sitake. and, folks, that's a big story. he was a terrific player for lavell edwards, the first edwards guy to be coming home to provo if they announce it tomorrow. but right now, it's utah, of the pac-12, with a bowl victory. as they win it, but it wasn't easy. leading by 35, they held on for a 35-28 victory. the 2015 royal purple las vegas bowl champion is utah and they set the stage for next year, jesse. >> jesse: can't wait for that now. this addition, this chapter of the holy war, i think, sets up an even bigger stage for september next year. looking forward to that. >> brent: see you if pasadena, my friend and you too, maria. for maria taylor and jesse palmer, i'm brent musburger.
