SALT LAKE CITY — While dealing with the loss of two of their best offensive players, Utah rebounded well and managed to squeak past the visiting Oregon Ducks Saturday in a 32-25 win.
Led by redshirt freshman Jason Shelley and running back Armand Shyne, Utah’s offense proved they could do just enough to keep the team afloat in the race for a Pac-12 South Division title. While not perfect, Utah's offense stayed composed and got the win despite losing the lead in the fourth quarter.
The defense, too, stepped up and improved upon its lackluster performance against Arizona State and attacked the Ducks with a renewed sense of aggression and physicality.
