Utah quarterback Kendal Thompson threw for 17 yards with an interception in his first career start and was replaced at the half by Travis Wilson, who was 5-of-10 for 45 yards. The game was tied 6-6 at intermission after the teams committed a combined four turnovers and were 1-for-11 on third-down conversions.
Mannion threw a 72-yard touchdown pass to Jordan Villamin early in the fourth quarter to put the Beavers ahead 13-9 before the Utes regained the lead on Booker’s 1-yard TD score with 4:06 left. Booker opened the first overtime with a 15-yard TD run and Oregon State answered with Mannion’s 2-yard TD pass to Villamin.
