San Diego • As of halftime Monday night, Utah quarterback Jason Shelley seemingly was going to be remembered for everything he did to give the Utes' season a satisfying ending.
Shelley's fill-in opportunity instead will be framed by what happened in the second half of a 31-20 loss to Northwestern in the Holiday Bowl at SDCCU Stadium.
Having produced only three points against Washington in the Pac-12 championship to conclude November, Shelley and the Ute offense were shut out in the second half vs. Northwestern. Shelley's two interceptions and two fumbles (one returned for an 86-yard touchdown) accounted for four of Utah's six turnovers; Texas high school teammate Jaylen Dixon fumbled twice after catching passes.
