Utes have now left 5 points on the table. Keep an eye on that.KYLE F GUNTHERReally impressed by Brian Johnson. Making it easy for Jon Hays.Zach Bloxham I swear, Riley has more throws that should have been interceptions than any QB in college football.Rich JohnsonRiley Nelson leads the nation in almost interception I thinkGeoff JohnstonWide left for Sorensen.
