Snow angels created in Colorado and the Sun Devils' fumble against Oregon are the lasting images of Utah’s first Pac-12 South football championship.
Britain Covey, Jaylon Johnson and other players enjoyed the successful end of the Utes' conference schedule Saturday. They sprawled on the semi-frozen, snowy turf of Colorado’s Folsom Field, where they had beaten the Buffaloes 30-7. Nearly 10 hours later, as the calendar turned to Sunday in Utah, the Utes had even more to celebrate.
“Just proud of how these guys have hung in there all season long,” coach Kyle Whittingham said.
The Utes (8-3, 6-3 Pac-12) pushed through a conference schedule that started with losses to the North’s top two teams — and they’ll get a rematch with one of them in the Pac-12 championship game, Nov.
