SALT LAKE CITY — It wasn’t always pretty.

But it was still a win for Utah fans as the Utes made it seven-in-a-row against rival BYU with a 19-13 win at LaVell Edwards Stadium in Provo.

Former BYU linebacker David Nixon and Utah alum Christian Cox break down Utah’s longest win streak in the series since 1957, primarily because of Tyler Huntley’s arm and playmaking option ability and standout defensive pressure paced by Filipo Mokifisi and Chase Hansen, among others.

They won’t just break down the Utes, though; we’re here to evaluate Ula Toluta’u’s emergence at running back for BYU, and the indecision between quarterback and receivers that plagued the Cougars on the final, potentially game winning drive.
