SALT LAKE CITY — The University of Utah wrapped up the 2016 college football season with a Foster Farms Bowl win over Big 10 opponent Indiana. The Utes reached at least nine wins for the third straight season, having won 28 games total over the past three seasons.
The Utes knocked off USC, UCLA, Arizona and Arizona State in the Pac-12 South, falling just inches short of wins over California and Oregon that would have put them in the conference championship game for a rematch against Washington. The Utes lost to the Huskies, who represented the Pac-12 in the College Football Playoff semifinals, by a touchdown on a punt return.
