Utah running back Zack Moss used patience and his breakaway ability to arrive at 150 yards for the second game in a row

Utah's Zack Moss is known for churning out consistent, 5-yard runs. The next phase of his development is becoming more of a breakaway threat, as he promised would happen.

“Just get me through August,” Moss said on the first day of preseason camp, “and we'll see.”

By the end of August, with the coaching staff having kept him from absorbing too many hits in practice, Moss showed that ability on his 13th carry of the season. His 86-yard touchdown run in Thursday’s second quarter launched the slow-starting Utes toward a 41-10 defeat of Weber State at Rice-Eccles Stadium.
