Utah's offense is able to execute coach Jello's gameplan while their defense makes enough stops when they needed to this Saturday. The Wildcats opened the scoring with a 16 yd TD pass from Persa to Dunsmore with 1 minute remaining in the 1st. 47 seconds later Utah HB Thretton Palamo was celebrating in the endzone after taking a pitch 70 yards after running over a NW DB.

Utah would add a FG in the 2nd quarter and then Palamo would punch it in from 1 yard out for his 2nd TD of the game with 1 minute remaining in the half. After a quick 3 and out, Utah forced the Wildcats to punt. With only 20s remaining and the ball on their own 27 yd line, coach Jello decided to roll the dice. Jordan Wynn would hit WR Anthony Denham for a 73 yard strike to give the Utes a 24-7 halftime lead.

After another quick 3 and out to start the 2nd half, Utah would strike quickly again with their 3rd TD of 50+ yards within 2:07 of game time on a nice end around run by WR Luke Matthews (I tried to get a vid of this, but EA is retarded). Utah went into cruise control from their as they ate up lots of clock with their power rushing attack and would close the book on the Wildcats with a 34-17 win for their 2nd road victory to start the season.

The game ball went to HB Thretton Palamo with 119 yds and 2 TDs on 17 carries. Honorable mention goes to the entire Ute defense as they were solid all around. For the 2nd consecutive game, QB Jordan Wynn was very efficient as he completed all 9 of his passes for 127 yards and 1 TD.

Next up is Utah's home opener and their Pac12 debut against a very tough USC opponent.
