The conversion was missed and the score at the half stood at 19-- 0 in favor of the Goat. Utah made several changes for the second half and returned to the field with confidence. The Utes rallied behind the aggressive play of their forwards and took charge. The better conditioning of the Utes began to pay off when the Ute forwards were able to win the ball in the rucks and mauls. This enabled the Ute backs to run amuck in the Goat defense. The speed of Utah gave the inexperienced Goat backfield trouble for the remainder of the game. With seven minutes gone in the second half, Ed Labanara made an erratic kick across the field due to Utah pressure. Pat Quigley scooped up the loose ball for the Utes and outran the Goat defense for Utah's first score. The conversion was missed and the score was Dead Goat 19, Utah 4.
