Overview
- Joe Jackson ran for a school-record 293 yards, surpassing Darren Sproles, with touchdown runs of 24, 66 and 80 yards.
- Kansas State finished with 472 rushing yards, yet Utah prevailed 51-47 in a result rarely achieved by teams that allow that much on the ground.
- Kyle Whittingham said his defense "did not play the run game in any way, shape or form," and coordinator Morgan Scalley accepted responsibility for the performance.
- Utah closed it out with a defensive three-and-out, a 59-yard run and 1-yard score by Devon Dampier, and a game-sealing interception by Lander Barton.
- Jackson was named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week and Kansas State's line earned weekly honors, while Utah enters Friday's finale with a 10-win regular season on the line and Kansas State hosts Colorado on Nov. 29.
