Just three plays into this former Mountain West Conference matchup and the Utah Utes have a 7-0 lead over the BYU Cougars. BYU received the ball to start things off and ran a play for a loss of three yards to start things off. But what followed was not planned. The center made a bad snap, which Jake Heaps was unable to fix. Heaps followed the ball and picked it up, instead of falling on it.
Utah Vs. BYU Score: Bad Snap, Fumble For Cougars Result In Utes TD
Heaps attempted to throw the ball, but all that resulted in was a fumble and a trip to the end zone for the ball. Utah's Derrick Shelby fell on the ball for the touchdown. Heaps, a sophomore, needs to learn that it's better to take the loss of yards instead of attempting some face-saving throw. In this case the throw made him lose face.
