Down by one with 48 seconds left, Utah opted to go for two and the win. All USC needed was a stop to escape the rocking Rice-Eccles Stadium with a win.
But as Rising sat in the pocket looking for an open receiver, he there was none to be found. So he took off himself and reached the ball across the goal line to put the Utes ahead for the first time all night.
At first it seemed like USC would run away with a win. After the Utes took away on the first three plays of the game, Williams escaped for a 55-yard scramble. Two plays later, Travis Dye punched it in for a touchdown. That opened it up for deep passes, particularly to Mario Williams for 66 and 36 yards on his next two catches, the latter a Willie Mays-esque snag.
