No. 9 BYU's bid to upset No. 3 Utah fell short on Saturday night at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City, as turnovers, missed tackles and a lack of discipline proved costly for the Cougars.
Quarterback Bear Bachmeier, wearing No. 47, was stopped short of a touchdown during the first half, illustrating the struggles BYU faced in capitalizing on opportunities.
The analysis from the Deseret News highlighted that self-inflicted errors prevented the Cougars from pulling off the upset against their in-state rivals.
