SALT LAKE CITY — In a game intended to be a warm-up ahead of Pac-12 play, the University of Utah started out slow before eventually rolling to a win over visiting San Jose State Spartans.
Utah amassed 501 yards of offense on the night in a pass-heavy attack to beat the Spartans 54-16. Sophomore quarterback Tyler Huntley threw for 341 yards and four touchdowns on 30-of-43 passing. He added 53 yards on the ground in another stellar performance for the young quarterback.
The first quarter started out with three consecutive field goal attempts from Matt Gay, including a made 56-yard field goal, before Utah scored its first touchdown of the night on a 7-yard touchdown pass from Huntley to receiver Darren Carrington.
