Dick Harmon got it right:
As I watched the game I was asking that myself. I was very worried about our ability to stop BYU's running game - because the Utes pretty much couldn't, and the momentum seemed to be going BYU's way. Hall's fumble seemed to be the game-changer. Nothing ever went right for the Cougars after that.
In the aftermath, BYU will have to examine why it had Hall attack the teeth of Utah's defensive strength — the secondary — when the Cougars averaged 7.1 yards rushing per attempt, 30 carries for 216 yards in the game.
