Utah Survives Colorado Comeback to Secure 27-24 Victory

The No. 11 Utah Utes held off a late surge from Colorado on Saturday, securing a 27-24 win to maintain their unbeaten record in Big 12 play.

Utah dominated the first half, jumping out to a 13-0 lead with a touchdown from quarterback Devon Dampier and strong defensive play that kept Colorado off the board. The Buffaloes answered in the third quarter with two touchdowns—including a 68-yard play from Isaac Wilson to JaQuail Smith—and a field goal to take a 14-13 lead, but Utah responded with a fourth-quarter touchdown to regain control.

Colorado nearly tied the game late, but an interception by Wilson in the final minutes sealed Utah’s three-point victory, improving their record to 6-0 overall and 3-0 in conference play. The win keeps Utah’s perfect Big 12 start intact, while Colorado drops to 2-4 and remains winless in league action.
