Brant Kuithe happily looked around at the glorious scene at Rice-Eccles Stadium on Saturday night in the aftermath of the Utes’ 45-15 win over Colorado, taking in the whole of it, before running off the field, his work, their work, done.
In victory, Utah clinched the Pac-12 South and qualified for its slot in the league’s championship game against Oregon on Friday night in Santa Clara, Calif.
Turns out, the Utes have a weapon that no longer is so secret. But the gap between knowing about it and doing something about it is substantial. Kuithe, a multi-talented tight end, has created that crevice.
