Offense - Jaylen Dixon

The freshman receiver hasn’t put up the most impressive numbers this season, in fact, Dixon only had 11 career receptions headed into the Utes’ matchup with Colorado. But one thing has held true for the receiver when he does make a catch, it typically goes for a huge gain. Despite only having 11 receptions, Dixon leads all Utah recievers in yards per catch with 26.0 and the large majority of his receptions have gone for 25 yards or more. Dixon continued to be a valuble deep threat against the Buffs. Dixon finished the game with 4 receptions for 125 yards including a 61-yard completion that set the Utes up for their first points of the game and a 47-yard touchdown reception that gave the Utes the lead.
