Utah's John White III breaks a tackle and runs in for a score Saturday, Nov. 3, 2012 as the Utes and Washington State play at Rice Eccles Stadium.
Scott G Winterton, Deseret News
The Utah Utes overwhelmed the Washington State Cougars by scoring six touchdowns en route to a 49-6 victory at Rice-Eccles Stadium.
Washington State was held scoreless until finding the end zone on the final play of regulation. They declined to go for the extra point.
Utah quarterback Travis Wilson went 17 for 21 for 171 yards and two touchdowns, adding to the Utes' 453 yards of total offense. Running back John White had 18 carries for 101 yards and two touchdowns.
Washington State struggled all game to run the ball and ended with minus-4 rushing yards. The Utes, on the other hand, used their rushing attack to eat up the clock. Utah's time of possession was 37:39, nearly twice as long as the Cougars.
Utah had help from everywhere. Reggie Dunn ran a kick off 100 yards for a touchdown. Star Lotulelei forced a sack fumble. And Reggie Topps grabbed an interception.
Washington State is winless in the Pac-12 so far this season.

Great game for Utah again this week. Another very balanced effort on all sides of the ball.
I can't believe Reggie Dunn broke another kickoff return for a touchdown!
I hope the Utes can keep it up and take some momentum More..
"Solid performance for a team sharing 8th, 9th, 10th place"
So the expanded PAC 12.1 standings would look something like this:
:
08. Arizona
09. Utah
10. California
11. Colorado
12. >> BYU
Haha I love that the haters are still so upset, even when we beat a team that's not that great. Three in a row stings all year long for some.
Solid performance today. Our freshman qb is getting some confidence, and the offense is More..
