Under four minutes of clock remained. Backs against the wall and trailing by a field goal, Houston’s defense needed one more stop to keep the door ajar. The Cougars forced incompletions on first and second down, and the defense’s energy cranked up a notch when forcing a false start to set BYU at the 18-yard line, facing 3rd and 15.
But quarterback Zach Wilson wasn’t rattled by the down and distance on the road. With a clean pocket, the junior quarterback did what he did all night. He delivered an over-the-shoulder dime right into the waiting hands of wide receiver Dax Milne, who beat one-on-one coverage in the middle of the end zone.
