Utah 42, UNLV 21
Johnson broke off a 56-yard touchdown run in the second quarter, finished with 80 rushing yards, and completed 15-of-24 passes for 183 yards and two more TDs. He completed 8-of-9 passes for 96 yards in the third quarter.This player had this many yards on this many carries and made this big play at this important point of the game to help this team.
PLAY OF THE GAME
The outcome had already been decided, but the most exciting play of the game occurred in the fourth quarter when running back Matt Asiata made a brilliant fake on a play-action pass and tossed a 32-yard touchdown strike to Jereme Brooks.
KEY CALL
Giving the speedy David Reed the chance to return kickoffs against UNLV paid off nicely for the Utes. Reed changed the momentum of the game with his 49-yard kickoff return to open the second half. It helped Utah take its first lead of the game.
QUOTABLE
