PROVO — Tyler Huntley overcame a truckload of sloppy mistakes to lead Utah past a punchless BYU offense that couldn’t take advantage Saturday night in LaVell Edwards before a crowd of 63,470.
In the showdown between Huntley, the previous one-game starter, and the 16-game starting veteran BYU junior Tanner Mangum. Huntley, in his second start, delivered more chunk plays and that proved huge in this extension of Utah’s win streak over the Cougars to seven straight.
Mangum, who led BYU to 13-unanswered points and had a game-winning drive attempt in the last minute, had two receivers drop passes to spoil a last-ditch effort to win.
