The No. 2 Utah Utes narrowly escaped with a 40-39 victory over the No. 23 Arizona Wildcats on Sunday morning, extending their undefeated streak. The game, which saw seven lead changes, was ultimately decided by a 70-yard touchdown pass from Utah quarterback Devon Dampier with under three minutes remaining.

Utah's journey to the game faced delays, with the team flying in Saturday morning due to nationwide FAA grounding. Despite the challenges, they avoided a letdown after a significant win, a fate that has befallen other teams this season. Running back Daniel Bray also contributed significantly with 197 rushing yards and a touchdown.
