Utah starts the season 1-0 and has won its last eight season openers. The Utes have won 11-straight season openers played at home.
The attendance of 47,825 was a Rice-Eccles Stadium record and the Utes have now sold out 32-consecutive home games. Of the sellouts, 29 have been played before standing-room only crowds that exceed stadium capacity.
Utah is now 3-1 all-time against Michigan with wins in each of the last three meetings. The Utes are now 9-12 all-time against current Big Ten Conference schools.
The Utah defense surrendered only 119 yards of total offense and 25 rushing yards to Michigan in the first half, and forced three interceptions, all by the Ute defensive backfield.
