So much for a defensive battle. In what was expected by many to be a low scoring affair, Utah and UCLA lit up the scoreboard, moving up and down the field to combine for over 1,000 yards of offense. Fortunately for Utah, the Utes came out on top, 52-45, and move on to next week with a 7-1 record, when they will host undefeated Washington and ESPN’s Gameday.
Offense
Utah’s offense was the strength of the team this week, more specifically, Joe Williams. In just his second game since returning to the team, Williams exploded for 332 yards rushing and 4 touchdowns, setting the school’s single game rushing record and setting the high yardage mark for all running backs in college football this season.
