It was truly a wild and wacky day for WAC teams Saturday.

Besides Brigham Young’s 58-56 loss to Utah State, Utah scored with nine seconds left to upset San Diego State, 45-41, and Wyoming scored with 20 seconds left to defeat Fresno State, 32-28, in Western Athletic Conference games.

Utah’s winning touchdown at Salt Lake City came on a 17-yard pass play from Mike McCoy to Greg Hooks, which capped a six-play, 58-yard drive that consumed only 47 seconds.

The lead changed six times in the fourth quarter.

For Utah, 5-4 overall and 3-2 in the WAC, McCoy passed for three touchdowns, while Jamal Anderson ran for three. Marshall Faulk ran for 141 yards for the Aztecs (6-3, 4-1).
