Passing: Rising (UTAH) 13/22, 140 yards
Rushing: Thomas (UTAH) 20 carries, 177 yards, 4 TDs
Receiving: Yurosek (STAN) 4 receptions, 42 yards

Final Thoughts:
Utes took advantage a injury-plagued Cardinal Team and dominated them at the line of scrimmage. 6 rushing touchdowns and a 441-82 rushing advantage were the difference in the game. 

With the win, Utes are now a win and a Arizona State loss away from clinching the Pac-12 South and a spot in the Pac-12 Championship Game. They also have Oregon at home in a couple of weeks.

But Next Saturday, Utah will head to Mesa, to face Arizona. While Stanford will head to Corvallis, to face Oregon State, also Next Saturday.
