      Excited to play TCU again. I always enjoyed games against the Frogs.

      The 2008 game might be the best game I’ve ever watched at RES.

      Some others that come to mind:
      2008 Oregon State
      2022 USC
      2018 BYU

      Any other home games make the list? There were some great games in the 90s, but they didn’t carry the same weight as recent games because of what was at stake.

      TCU might be responsible for both the best and worst game in Rice Eccles history

      Others to consider:

      1994 Utah 34 – BYU 31 (Second 34-31 game, share of the conference title, and validated the previous year’s win)
      2003 Utah 31 – California 24 (Alex Smith vs Aaron Rodgers, Utes win on a late touchdown run by Warfield)
      2004 Utah 41 – Texas A&M 21 (Beginning of the 2004 BCS busting year, announcing to the world just how good Utah was gonna be that year)
      2008 Utah 31 – Oregon State 28 (Utah needed a late TD, 2 pt conversion, and then a turnover leading to a FG to win)
      2008 Utah 48 – BYU 24 (Back and forth game early on before Utah overwhelmed the Cougars and punched our ticket to the Sugar Bowl)
      2013 Utah 27 – Stanford 21 (Hard fought win over the #5 team in the nation)
      2014 Utah 24 – USC 21 (Late TD pass to beat #20 USC)

      Dang I just watched the highlights of that game, and the TCU kicker really choked the game away.
