This was a great statement game, as the Utes also got revenge on the Beavers.
Phillips’ three interception performance was the first at home by a Ute since 1970, which was accomplished by Norm Thompson.
The defense was far from perfect, but Phillips and Hubert had some clutch timely interceptions that helps swing momentum.
Rising really stepped up today and looked really comfortable with spreading the ball around. He connected with 8 different targets. He looked really comfortable going to Devaughn Vele who had 7 receptions for 94 yards and a TD. Rising was also clutch on the ground, and they needed that with the RBs not doing much in the ground. When he focusing on running, good things happen: 7 carries for 73 yards and a TD.
The defense was honestly bailed out by some big plays—giving up 417 yards while the Utes offense put up 361.
Lastly, Ludwig is lucky that his random wildcat call didn’t impact the outcome of the game. Yes it was bad execution, but it completely killed Utah’s momentum for a while.
Now onto UCLA and their Jekyll and Hyde was. When they’re on, they’re a scary team. It’s likely about to be a matchup of two top 20 teams after the Bruins huge win. The question is, how much will Utah climb?
Lets hear everyone’s reactions…
