SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Troy Williams threw for 272 yards and two touchdowns as Utah opened the season with a 24-0 victory over Southern Utah on Thursday evening.
Fans got their first glimpse of the revamped Utah offense, which included a new full-time starter at quarterback for the first time since 2012. The Utes have new starters at every offensive skill position.
Williams showed why there is optimism throughout the program for the Santa Monica College transfer that originally signed with Washington as one of the top dual-threat quarterbacks in the country. He put zip on the ball on several out routes and kept his eyes downfield while scrambling.
