Zach Moss' 181 rushing yards push Utah past BYU in season opener

August 30, 2019 12:00 AM
LaVell Edwards Stadium was alive with energy Thursday night as it was packed near capacity with 61,626 fans. A sea of royal blue was spotted with the red of attending Utah fans, many of who braved the traffic and construction for the two-plus-hour drive down from Salt Lake City. The crowd roared along with the jets flying overhead during the national anthem and stood on their feet to welcome the 2019 BYU football squad to the field. As is tradition, thunderous boos greeted the Utah team as it took the field. This year's iteration of the BYU-Utah rivalry kicked off the NCAA football season as dusk set in Provo and the Y on the mountainside was set aglow.
