No. 2 Utah beats No. 23 Arizona 40-39 in a close, back-and-forth game, avoiding an upset and remaining unbeaten. Coverage focuses on Utah’s late response, including a touchdown drive that comes down to the final moments.
ESPN and The Athletic both highlight the same decisive moment: quarterback Devon Dampier connects with Creed Whittemore on a late, 70-yard touchdown pass to complete Utah’s rally. Yahoo Sports adds additional context around how the game begins, noting a delayed flight and a slow start by the Utes.
Across outlets, the overall framing is consistent—Utah is positioned as still unbeaten and the matchup is treated as a top-25 thriller. While the details emphasized differ (late scoring play versus broader “takeaways,” or pregame disruptions), all accounts describe the same final result and the late TD as the turning point.
