Ja’Quinden Jackson, No. 12 Utah run past Arizona in 45-20 win
SALT LAKE CITY — Utah ran all over Arizona for 60 minutes and the Wildcats were powerless to do anything to stop it.
“The running backs ran hard, and they did some good things on their own, but nobody rushes for over 300 yards without the offensive line controlling the line of scrimmage,” Whittingham said. “We just couldn’t get any momentum,” Arizona coach Jedd Fisch said. “We could move the ball past the 40 but didn’t end up going further and turned it over a couple of times when I thought we had touchdown opportunities.”
Third string QB Nate Johnson scored touchdowns on his first two career carries to help Utah pull away before halftime. His first touchdown, an 8-yard run, put the Utes up 14-7. After Zemaiah Vaughn recovered a muffed punt return at the Arizona 9, Johnson punched it in on his second run one play later to extend the lead to 28-7.The Utes drove deep into Arizona territory twice in the third quarter, but fumbles ended both drives.
