SALT LAKE CITY — Visiting Arizona State rolled over a lackluster Utah Saturday, beating the Utes 30-10 in a rare day game for both programs.
The Utes lacked emotion in the first half and failed to gain momentum as the offense continued to stall drive after drive. Utah’s defense, too, had no answer, and the Sun Devils were able to drive at will, making Utah pay in the run game, finishing with 172 rushing yards in the first half. The Sun Devils finished with 198 rushing yards.
Arizona State started off the game with three consecutive field goals before a 94-yard drive late in the second quarter, capped off by a 1-yard rushing touchdown by Demario Richard to shutout the Utes in the first half.
