Four touchdowns in Utah’s massive rivalry win over BYU: Devon Dampier delivered a Heisman moment

Dampier’s impact in the rivalry

Dampier completed 14 of 26 passes for 177 yards and two touchdowns against BYU. He also led Utah with 87 rushing yards and added two rushing scores. His most striking play came on fourth-and-1 from Utah’s 49-yard line in the third quarter. Dampier leaped to catch a 29-yard pass over safety Raider Damuni, keeping the drive alive.

He also had a pass, a rush and a reception of at least 25 yards. The account describes his throws as largely well-placed, though some passes fell incomplete.

A season strengthening his case

The BYU performance added to a season total of 2,053 passing yards, 20 passing touchdowns and seven interceptions. Dampier has thrown at least two touchdown passes in eight games.

He has also recorded 480 rushing yards and seven rushing touchdowns this season. His dual-threat production and leadership have made him central to Utah’s success.

Utah’s unbeaten run continues

Utah improved to 9-0 for the first time since 2008 and extended its winning streak to 15 games, the longest active streak in the country. The Utes had entered Week 10 among three undefeated FBS teams, alongside Miami and UCLA.

Utah next faces No. 22 Arizona, then has TCU and West Virginia left in the regular season. The team is positioned to pursue a Big 12 championship appearance and a playoff berth.

An undefeated regular season and a top-four seed remain possibilities, but the account characterizes that path as a difficult task. Dampier’s performance, including four touchdowns against BYU, could be a major factor.
