Utah football: Game recap
Brian Johnson
The senior QB completed 27-of-38 passes for 283 yards and five touchdowns. He also rushed for 31 yards in the lopsided win.
PLAY OF THE GAME
It took Utah just two plays and 10 seconds to take the ball away from San Diego State. A hit by linebacker Stevenson Sylvester forced a fumble by running back Tyler Campbell. Defensive end Koa Misi recovered it near midfield. The Utes' offense then marched downfield for the game's first score.
KEY CALL
Leading 7-0 midway through the first quarter, the Utes doubled their lead after converting on a pair of third-down situations on their second series of the game. In both instances, quarterback Brian Johnson teamed with receiver Bradon Godfrey on passes to move the chains and keep the drive alive.
QUOTABLE "
"I thought it was a game we should have won, and we did win."
Kyle Whittingham
Utah head coach
