Overview
- Devon Dampier went 27-for-41 for 230 yards and two touchdowns and added about 86 rushing yards, directing four straight second-half touchdown drives.
- Utah scored on every second-half possession and converted all of its third downs after the break following a first half marred by penalties and missed or blocked field goals.
- A third-and-21 completion to Dallen Bentley set the tone for the surge, and four plays later Dampier recovered his own fumble and hit Larry Simmons for an 8-yard touchdown that went viral.
- Wyoming coach Jay Sawvel labeled the third-and-21 conversion a “backbreaker” and praised Utah for winning the line of scrimmage on both sides.
- The Utes outgained the Cowboys 541-229 with 311 rushing yards and a 86-57 play advantage, and they now turn to a Big 12 home date with No. 21 Texas Tech.
