Ace Journeyman just won the most dramatic victory of his short career, leading Utah to a last second, come-from-behind, 29-28 victory over 3rd ranked BYU. In the three-way, in-state rivalry between Utah, Utah State and BYU, known as the Holy War, Journeyman's Utes have the edge heading down the stretch to the season ending game with State. The most powerful aspect of the game, though, was knocking off such a highly ranked team. The Cougars, ranked third in both polls, are the highest ranked oppnents Journeyman has faced. Down 28-23 with 27 seconds left and the ball on their won 3, Utah looked hopelessly defeated. However, QB Mark Lamb led a 4-play, 97 yard scoring drive to seal the win with 4 seconds left. The Utes still have #24 TCU left before they face the Aggies in the final installment of the 2010 Holy War. While still not ranked, Utah, 9-1 (7-0 MWC) is turning some heads nationally, and many Ute fans are worried that Journeyman could indeed be gone after one season here, lured on to an even bigger, more prestigious program.
