SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Utes wanted to end their regular season with a home win against Colorado. They did just that, honoring the seniors with a 20-14 victory Saturday at Rice-Eccles Stadium.
Utah's (9-3, 6-3 Pac-12) play wasn't the prettiest, but there are positives to take away from the Rumble in the Rockies, especially from the defense.
Until they entered the red zone, the Buffs (4-9, 1-8) looked good on their first drive. Buffs quarterback Cade Apsay got sacked by right defensive tackle Viliseni Fauonuku for a loss of 6 yards, setting up a field goal, but the Utes denied their opponent points.
