Former Fresno State signee Devontae Booker ran for 156 yards and two touchdowns, and No. 21 Utah had two scores on special teams and one on defense in a 45-24 victory over the Bulldogs on Saturday night.

Utah defensive tackle Stevie Tu’ikolovatu recovered a fumble by Fresno State quarterback Chason Virgil on a sack and returned it 37 yards for a touchdown to put the Utes (3-0) up 10-3 late in the first quarter at Bulldog Stadium.

Booker’s 30-yard touchdown run made it 17-3 lead late in the second quarter and he added a 7-yard scoring run for a 21-point lead midway through the third.
