Game of the year? How social media reacted to Utah’s thrilling victory over Arizona

In what some are calling the best game of the 2026 college football season, the No. 2-ranked Utah Utes outlasted the 23rd-ranked Arizona Wildcats 40-39 Saturday night on the road to move to 10-0 on the campaign. The win came after the Utes were delayed in their travel to Arizona following Friday’s FAA grounding, which forced the team to not fly until late Saturday morning. Social media was buzzing after the game. Here are some of the most notable reactions. Utah overcame all the travel issues yesterday, flew to Arizona this morning, walked into a wildly hostile environment, and beat a talented Wildcats team 40-39 on a late TD. Unbelievable win. 🔥 pic.twitter.com/pOct4BvCy9 — CFB Kings (@CFBKings) November 15, 2026Heisman candidate in Utah? QB Devon Dampier led a comeback in a shootout vs. No.
