"It's Rivalry Week," said defensive end Joe Kruger. "So we've got to bring it."

The key, Whittingham noted, is for the Utes to just keep working and stick together.

He has yet to throw an interception this season . . . John White led the Utes with 56 yards rushing and one touchdown . . . Christopher topped receivers in the game with 11 catches for 136 yards and a score . . . Nick Marsh averaged 40.9 yards on seven punts for Utah. He pinned four kicks inside the 20 . . .
