The Utah Utes were the nations only undefeated team last year. They whipped Alabama in the Sugar Bowl and garnered consideration as National Champions.
This team is a bit away from that one.
#19 Utah gave two fumbles and an interception to hapless Utah State and struggled to a 35-17 win Thursday night.
Utah RB Matt Asiata had a great opening night, going for 156 yards and 2 TDs on 36 carries and catching 2 passes for 17 yards.
Terrance Cain, taking over at QB threw for 286 yards and 2 scores with the interception, along with 22 yards on the ground.
David Reed caught 10 passes for 172 yards and a score on the night, but the turnovers, along with a suddenly pourous run defense kept Utah State in the game most of the night.
Utah State ran for 221 yards and 2 TDs on 34 carries, averaging a whopping 6.5 yards a carry against what was considered one of the tougher defenses in the country, including a 96 yard second quarter score.
The Utes have a few days to iron out the kinks before travelling to San Jose State in 9 days. Utah State takes its moral victory on the road to Texas A&M on Sept 19th.
