SALT LAKE CITY — It’s not how you start, but how you finish.
Utah has lived by much of that mantra in its three games this season, particularly in its 34-17 victory over San Jose State Saturday to finish non-conference play. Against the Spartans, Utah’s offense struggled at first to gain any sort of consistency and looked as if it had partially regressed from the weeks prior.
As the game developed, Utah settled into a rhythm and moved the ball with relative ease in both the pass and run game. Utah finished with 456 total yards of offense, split between the rush (201 yards) and the pass (255 yards).
