Utah’s offensive line reasserts itself in the second half vs. Washington

Seattle • The anticipated debut of Utah tackle Bamidele Olaseni hardly could be judged a success, but everything came together for the Utes’ offensive line in last 2½ quarters Saturday.

The No. 9 Utes would have produced 400 total yards, if not for quarterback Tyler Huntley's kneeling to kill the clock in a 33-28 victory at Husky Stadium. Utah's point total was aided by a defensive touchdown, but the offense did its part with two long touchdown drives in the fourth quarter, after Washington defense appeared dominant in the game's early stages.

Utah’s line stabilized itself after allowing four sacks in the first half, giving quarterback Huntley better protection and creating enough holes for running back Zack Moss to post 100 net yards on 27 carries — even while losing 14 yards.
