Ranking BYU football’s 10 best wins of the 2000s

5. BYU vs Utah, 2001

BYU football defeated the Utes 24-21 in Provo, improving to 11-0 on the season.

Luke Staley rushed for 169 yards and scored two total touchdowns in the come-from-behind victory and Brandon Doman threw for 270 yards and two touchdowns.

Representatives from the Fiesta Bowl were in Provo, but after Staley was injured in the next game, BYU got shellacked by Hawaii. The Cougars ended up losing in the Liberty Bowl, but that can’t take away from the significance of the Holy War win.
