Fans jam Rice-Eccles Stadium at the University of Utah Thursday night during the Utes' season-opening victory against Texas A&M. At right, Utah's John Madsen, No. 23, is congratulated by teammate Parris Warren, No. 5, after Madsen scored a touchdown in the first half to push the score to 21-0. The game was played before a capacity crowd of 45,419 and a national television audience on ESPN. "We just beat Texas A&M and that doesn't happen often at a school like Utah. A Mountain West team isn't supposed to beat a top-shelf Big 12 team," said Utah coach Urban Meyer. "So I'm very proud of our effort."
