Colorado reacts to Utah’s dominant defensive effort

BOULDER, Colo. — Utah football’s offense played well again under quarterback Jason Shelley, but it was the defense that plowed through Colorado’s offensive line to help the Utes beat the Buffaloes 30-7.

Saturday’s win closed out Utah’s Pac-12 schedule with a 6-3 conference record on the season.

Both teams scored a touchdown in the first half for an even score at halftime, but Utah came out of the locker room ready to increase its lead. On the first possession in the third quarter, the Utes put together a drive that ended with a 33-yard field goal to go ahead.
