Utah's sophomore quarterback answered his critics by throwing for 360 yards and two touchdowns in comeback win.

X-factor

After Utah's Greg Bird blocked a San Diego State punt deep in Aztec territory, running back Eddie Wide lunged and put the ball across the goal line on fourth down to give the Utes the go-ahead touchdown early in the fourth quarter. It was the first time Utah led in the entire game.
