In what seemed like a closely contested matchup on paper, TCU emerged victorious over Utah with a 13-7 win, thanks to a commanding defensive performance

To that point, the offense had given them absolutely nothing. Utah’s 10th drive of the game started similarly to its last nine, with a Micah Bernard run, this time for four yards.

With the pressure mounting, TCU’s defense stepped up and held Utah without points on the Utes’ final four drives. That included making two straight stops on fourth down. Savion Williams would then ice the game for TCU with 2:17 remaining as he converted a 4th-and-1 off a direct snap.
