Utah quarterback Devon Dampier accounted for all four touchdowns in the Utes' 28-20 victory over BYU, crowd-surfing with fans after the game and drawing Heisman campaign buzz from teammates and analysts. The Salt Lake Tribune examines whether Dampier's performance could put him in the Heisman conversation.

Dampier's rushing and passing touchdowns powered Utah's 15th straight win and kept the Utes undefeated in Big 12 play. Coaches and national media noted his poise and versatility in the rivalry game.

The Heisman Trophy historically favors quarterbacks on playoff-bound teams. Utah's path to the College Football Playoff remains strong, giving Dampier a platform if he sustains the level of play.
