SALT LAKE CITY — The game should have been over.

After Utah stopped No. 9 BYU in the shadow of its own goalposts on fourth-and-10 with less than two minutes remaining, a defensive holding penalty gave the Cougars another chance.

Jake Retzlaff, who completed just 15 of 33 passes for 219 yards, wasn’t about to miss. And neither will Will Ferrin.

The Davis High product and Boise State transfer kicker nailed a 44-yard field goal with seconds left as the ninth-ranked Cougars remained undefeated with a 22-21 win in front of a stadium-record crowd at Rice-Eccles Stadium .

LJ Martin ran for 68 yards on 11 carries, no bigger than the no-gain rush he used to set up Ferrin’s game-winner with 3 seconds on the clock.

Chase Roberts caught six passes for 91 yards to lead the Cougars, and Darius Lassiter added 46 yards on four catches.

Keelan Marion added a 96-yard kick-return touchdown for BYU (9-0, 6-0 Big 12), his second of the year.

Brandon Rose completed 12 of 21 passes for 112 yards, two touchdowns and an interception for the Utes (4-5, 1-5 Big 12) in his first start at quarterback.
