Josh Furlong @jfur.ksl.com · 18h

Utah in the AP Top 25 this week at No. 23. They'll face No. 15 BYU this week.

Josh Furlong @jfur.ksl.com · 20h

Another week, another look at my AP Top 25 rankings ballot.

Josh Furlong's AP Top 25: It's time to recognize the greatness of Indiana

It was not a good weekend for several teams ranked inside last week's Associated Press Top 25 rankings.

Whittingham on being 28-of-29 in the red zone: Big part of the success is the QB run game and the offensive line. Devon Dampier has been the biggest key to that for Utah. He's very instinctive.

Josh Furlong @jfur.ksl.com · 1d

Whittingham said there hasn't been a lot of changes with this team since the Texas Tech loss. Felt like the biggest difference is just the health of Devon Dampier, who he said gutted it out to play.

Josh Furlong @jfur.ksl.com · 1d

Whittingham said it was too late to make any wholesale changes in the game plan with Sam Leavitt ruled out. Said the team wouldn't have changed anything anyway even if they would have known earlier in the week.

Josh Furlong @jfur.ksl.com · 1d

Whittingham said it was "really important" to keep Jordyn Tyson under wrap. It was the "focal point" of the game, and much of that is a credit to Smith Snowden.

Josh Furlong @jfur.ksl.com · 1d

Whittingham said he believes it was the secondary's best game of the season. Highlights several players in that unit.

Josh Furlong @jfur.ksl.com · 1d

Kyle Whittingham said it was a "complete game by our guys." Highlights Devon Dampier for his standout night where he had 3 rushing TDs. Said he's back to full health and doing well — and it showed.

FINAL

Utah 42 | Arizona State 10

Utah moves to 5-1 on the season and now has a 2-1 record in Big 12 play.

Josh Furlong @jfur.ksl.com · 1d

Byrd Ficklin with the easy 4-yard rushing TD to add to the score.

Utah 42 | ASU 10
4Q | 10:05

Josh Furlong @jfur.ksl.com · 1d

Utah defense with a 10-yard sack on Sims. And then follows it up with another 11 yarder

Josh Furlong @jfur.ksl.com · 1d

Utah remains *this close* on bringing down Jeff Sims, but they just can't get there and he scrambles for a 14-yard gain on 4th down.

Josh Furlong @jfur.ksl.com · 1d

END OF 3RD Q:

Utah 35 | Arizona State 10

Total: Utah 342 | ASU 203
Passing: Utah 104 | ASU 73
Rushing: Utah 238 | ASU 130

Josh Furlong @jfur.ksl.com · 1d

Devon Dampier x3. The QB somehow stays upright and gets the 9-yard rushing TD

Utah 35 | ASU 10
3Q | 0:45

Josh Furlong @jfur.ksl.com · 1d

After all that, Arizona State finishes with a 3-yard rushing TD. Utah fans really upset about the penalty called on them for a fresh set of downs.

Utah 28 | ASU 10
3Q | 4:32

Josh Furlong @jfur.ksl.com · 1d

And then Arizona State fumbles the ball and Utah recovers to stop the drive. The play is under a review.

Josh Furlong @jfur.ksl.com · 1d

Lot of whiffs on that Jeff Sims run. Utah had him contained.

Josh Furlong @jfur.ksl.com · 1d

Jackson Bennee picks off Jeff Sims, but the refs say the ball hit the ground. How are they not reviewing that?

Josh Furlong @jfur.ksl.com · 1d

Devon Dampier was being held as he was running and he still manages to pitch the ball to NaQuari Rogers for the 2-yard rushing TD

Utah 28 | ASU 3
3Q | 11:00

Josh Furlong @jfur.ksl.com · 1d

Someone forgot Ryan Davis was on the field and he was WIDE OPEN for a 56-yard catch.

Josh Furlong @jfur.ksl.com · 1d

Smith Snowden has only 1 pass breakup on the day, but he's been a consistent thorn in Jordyn Tyson's side

Josh Furlong @jfur.ksl.com · 1d

HALFTIME
