No. 5 Utah Tops No. 23 Cal 30-24 in a Thriller - Now lone Pac-12 unbeaten

No. 5 Utah (5-0, 2-0 Pac-12) topped No. 23 Cal (5-1, 2-1 Pac-12) 30-24 in a thriller in Salt Lake City, Utah. College GameDay was in town for the big game, and the players certainly did not disappoint on the huge stage. With the win Utah is now the lone undefeated team in the Pac-12. The game was over when Utah defensive back Boobie Hobbs broke up Cal quarterback Jared Goff's pass on 4th and five to end Cal's final scoring threat. In the game that pitted the top two defenses at generating takeaways, turnovers were a common occurrence, with Utah forcing six (five interceptions and one fumble recovery) and Cal forcing three (two interceptions and one fumble recovery).
