The Pac-12 badly needed a dose of Joe Williams and Sack Lake City.
It certainly wasn't pretty, but both critical components of Utah's winning formula came through, pushing the Utes to a 26-24 victory over Indiana in the Foster Farms Bowl.
Williams gashed Indiana's normally-sturdy run defense to the tune of 222 yards on 26 carries -- an average of 8.5 yards per rush. He blasted through holes, spun out of tackles, and knifed through the open field to help Utah overcome its inefficient passing game and four ugly turnovers.
Williams' 36-yard scamper on third-and-7 set up Andy Phillips' go-ahead field goal with 1:24 left.
