The BYU Cougars defeated Utah with a go-ahead field goal with three seconds left in the game. Utah athletic director Mark Harlan was unhappy with the refs.
BYU’s perfect season remained intact on Saturday as the Cougars scored 12 unanswered points in the second half to come back and top Utah, 22-21. Cougars quarterback Jake Retzlaff led an 11-play, 65-yard drive to set up Will Ferrin for a 44-yard field goal to go ahead with three seconds left. The Utes were up 21-10 at the half.
After the game, Utah athletic director Mark Harlan spoke to reporters and launched into critical comments about the referees. 'This game was absolutely stolen from us,' Harlan said, via ESPN. 'We were excited about being in the Big 12, but tonight I am not. We won this game. Someone else stole it from us. Very disappointed. 'I will talk to the commissioner. This was not fair to our team. I'm disgusted by the professionalism of the officiating crew tonight.
