Recent BYU News:

UTAH 20, BYU 14 Ute redshirt freshman quarterback Darnell Arceneaux rushed for two touchdowns, including an eight-yard run on the first play of the fourth quarter, as the University of Utah posted a 20-14 Western Athletic Conference Mountain Division win over Brigham Young. Arceneaux has won both his starts since taking over as the starting quarterback for the Utes. He completed 11-of-19 for 115 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 63 yards and a score in last week's 31-14 win over Rice. Arceneaux was 13-of-21 for 208 yards and two interceptions against BYU, while also leading the Utes on the ground with 63 yards on 19 carries. Andre Dyson had nine receptions for 143 yards, while Chris Fuamatu-Ma'Afala added 60 yards on 17 carries. Utah (6-5, 5-3 WAC Mountain) increased its lead in the series to 47-28-4, winning its third straight game in Provo. The victory clinched Utah's seventh straight .500 or better season. BYU (6-5, 4-4) concluded its season with two losses, jeopardizing its bowl hopes, though the Cougars are eligible with six wins. The Cougars erased a 10-0 deficit on two straight TD runs by Brian McKenzie. His 16-yard TD run gave BYU a 14-10 lead with 12:11 remaining in the first half. The score remained unchanged until Arceneaux's eight-yard TD run put the Utes up 17-14 with 14:56 remaining. Tommy Truhe kicked his second field goal, a 33-yarder, to give Utah a 20-14 lead with 1:39 remaining. The Utes opened the scoring on Truhe's 27-yard field goal with 11:16 remaining in the first quarter, then made it 10-0 on Arceneaux's four-yard run with 3:33 left in the opening period. McKenzie rushed for 95 yards on 26 carries and concluded the regular season with 1,004 yards, becoming just the fourth running back in BYU history to rush for at least 1,000 yards. But Kevin Feterik was only 10-of-16 for 70 yards. BYU - UTAH Game Recap Source: Blue & White Sports Network 1st Quarter Utah takes the opening kickoff and marches down the field to the BYU 11. The drive stalls there, however, and the Utes settle for a 27-yard Tommy Truhe field goal to take the early lead. KEY PLAYS: Kevin Dyson 38-yard kickoff return, 25-yard pass from Darnell Arceneaux to Chris Fuamatu-Ma'afala. On the Cougars first drive, Kevin Feterik's pass to Brian McKenzie is thrown behind him, bounces up in the air and is intercepted by the Ute's Phil Glover on the BYU 30. Utah cannot capitalize, though, and end up with a missed field goal on their drive. A BYU punt leads to a Utah touchdown. Arceneaux keeps the ball himself and runs into the endzone from 4-yards out. KEY PLAYS: 30-yard pass from Arceneaux to Dyson. Freshman Jaron Dabney helps BYU finally get on the board. Dabney returns the Utah kickoff 29-yards out to the Cougar 46. BYU marches down from there, and caps the drive with Brian McKenzie's 1-yard touchdown run. KEY PLAYS: Feterik to Margin Hooks for 16-yards, McKenzie 14-yard run. 2nd Quarter On the first play of the quarter, Utah's Arceneaux throws the ball up for grabs and BYU's Tyler Nelson comes down with it on the Utah 29. From there, McKenzie adds his second rushing touchdown of the game with a 15-yard score. Utah attempts to answer with another long drive, but is stopped inside the BYU 30. A long field goal try comes up short and the Cougars keep their 4-point lead. 3rd Quarter With Utah driving near the BYU goal line, Tyler Nelson steps in front of a Arceneaux pass for his second interception of the game on the BYU 1. The Cougars are forced to punt, however, from their own endzone. 4th Quarter A short BYU punt sets Utah up at the Cougar 42. That was too close as Arceneaux scores on the quarterback keeper from 8-yards out. KEY PLAYS: 27-yard completion from Arceneaux to Dyson, 11-yard Arceneaux run. BYU mounts a drive but stalls out at the Utah 35. A 52-yard Owen Pochman field goal falls short and Utah takes control of the ball with 8:30 remaining in the game. Utah marches down the field, chewing up yardage and clock time. The Utes finally settle for a 33-yard Truhe field goal to extend the lead. The 15-play drive took seven minutes off the clock. BYU cannot get anything done from there and turns the ball over on downs to give Utah the victory.
