As you might expect from a rivalry game involving controversial calls, last-second drama and College Football Playoff implications, social media was abuzz after BYU’s win over Utah.

In an unprecedented post-match rant, Utah athletic director Mark Harlan took the stage at the postgame press conference and said the referees “stole” Utah’s victory..

The ESPN broadcast captured a classic moment of BYU receiver Jojo Phillips making the upside-down “U” to Utah fans in the north end zone.
