SALT LAKE CITY — As much hype as Michigan received before kickoff, their game was a little anticlimactic. For Utah, Travis Wilson looked more confident than ever before, but it was a team effort to get the 24-17 win from Jim Harbaugh and the Wolverines. It's the eighth straight season opener win and 11th straight at Rice-Eccles Stadium.
Things started coming together for the Utes in the beginning of the second quarter. An 8-yard catch by freshman receiver Britain Covey led to Wilson handing the ball to Devontae Booker on the 1-yard line. The running back reached over the pile of players and got Utah its first touchdown of the season.
