PROVO — It’s been 15 years since weather played a significant role in a BYU-Utah game.
In 2003, the Utes and Cougars squared off in a contest that featured bitter-cold temperatures, wind and periodic snow at LaVell Edwards Stadium.
Utah won, 3-0, snapping BYU’s NCAA-record 361 games without being shut out and the Utes clinched their first outright conference championship in 46 years.
BYU cornerback Jernaro Gilford, who now coaches the Cougar corners, played in that game.
“I remember it being cold and snowing. I hate to say it, I remember losing 3-0 to Utah,” Gilford said.
