SALT LAKE CITY — No. 10 Washington rolled into town and spoiled Utah’s hopes of an upset Saturday in a 21-7 win.
Coming off a lackluster performance the week before, Utah hoped to rebound and get more production out of its offense. But three turnovers and a lack of consistency doomed the Utes in the first week of conference play. Junior quarterback Tyler Huntley threw for 138 yards on 20-of-38 (52.6 percent) passing in the loss.
Washington quarterback Jake Browning threw for 155 yards and one touchdown on 14-of-24 (58.3 percent) passing, and had a 1-yard rushing touchdown to keep the Utes at bay.
