No. 22 Utah proved that they deserve to finish the season as a ranked team by demolishing Colorado State, 45-10, and they ended their season with a 9-4 record as the Rams fell to 10-3.
Running back Devontae Booker led the Utes in rushing with 162 yards and a touchdown on 26 carries, and quarterback Travis Wilson contributed in the running game with 91 yards and three touchdowns on 11 carries.
Wilson also threw for 158 yards with a touchdown and an interception on 17-of-26 passing.
For Colorado State, quarterback Garrett Grayson was held to 227 yards with no touchdowns and an interception on 20-of-34 passing, and running back Dee Hart only rushed for 21 yards and seven carries.
Wide receiver Rashard Higgins was able to maintain his season-long production though as he caught seven passes for 109 yards.
Utah’s win gives the Pac-12 a good start in bowl games as they are now 1-0. Meanwhile, the Mountain West conference fell to 0-2 with both Colorado State and Nevada losing their bowl games. It will be up to Air Force to bring the Mountain West its first bowl win.
