Earlier this week, the Voice of the Brigham Young Cougars Greg Wrubell pointed out all the failed attempts by BYU over the last several years to tie or win a game on a field goal in the final minute of a game. While the game winning field goals have not worked out, last minute, game-winning touchdowns have.
Utah, 2006--John Beck pass to Jonny Harline, 11 yards, 0:00
Utah, 2007--Harvey Unga run, 11 yards, 0:38
Colorado State, 2008--Max Hall to Dennis Pitta, 17 yards, 0:22
Utah State, 2011--Riley Nelson to Marcus Mathews, 13 yards, 0:11
Tulsa, 2011--Riley Nelson to Cody Hoffman, 2 yards, 0:11
Additionally, two other games, BYU has won with touchdowns in the final two minutes:
New Mexico, 2005--Touchdown pass with 1:40
UNLV, 2008--Touchdown pass with 1:46
Lest we forget, there has been one overtime victory: Utah, 2009, 25-yard touchdown pass.
