Talk about the tale of two halves, huh? Or better yet, a terrible, no good, awful third quarter. The Utes raced out to a 20-3 lead over Northwestern at halftime, but there was some ominous signs with how many mistakes the Utes were making. There were dropped passes, a fumble by Jaylon Dixon, and points left on the field. With that said, Utah was running up and down the field on NU, and the defense was dominating.
Then came the third quarter. Utah’s redshirt freshman quarterback made a mistake to open the half by throwing a forced interception, and then the flood gates opened for Utah.
