If you stayed up past 2:00 a.m. ET to watch Utah-Arizona, you were rewarded with one of the best games of the year ending in outrageous fashion.
The second-ranked Utes remain unbeaten thanks to a 70-yard touchdown pass from Devon Dampier to Creed Whittemore with just over 2 minutes to play to secure the 40-39 victory.

That electric score came just seconds after Arizona pulled into the lead with Noah Fifita's third touchdown pass of the contest to send the home crowd into a frenzy.
The entire game was a captivating back-and-forth affair with a total of seven lead changes throughout. The two teams combined for over 900 yards of total offense, ten touchdowns, and 79 points.
The start time was pushed to 10:30 p.m. ET after travel issues forced Utah to fly to Tucson on Saturday morning. That set the stage for late-night fireworks in the contest that ended after midnight, local time.
The quarterback play was particularly strong throughout, with Dampier and Fifita putting on a show. The Utah veteran threw for 204 yards and two touchdowns while rushing for 100 and two scores on the ground. Fifita had the answer almost every single time, throwing for 356 yards and three scores.
