SALT LAKE CITY — Utah’s perfect season came to an end Saturday as the Stanford Cardinal grounded out a low-scoring 23-20 win.
Utah rallied late in the fourth quarter on a drive that featured two targeting penalties against Stanford and an 18-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Troy Williams to Darren Carrington. But Utah’s onside kick effort with less than a minute to play was foiled and the Cardinal escaped with a win.
The following are three points to take away from the game.
Troy Williams is familiar with the starting quarterback role. In fact, he led Utah to nine wins last season and kept Utah competitive in the Pac-12 South division race late into the season.
