Salt Lake City, UT (AP) - In coach packsyD's big 12 opener with his new and improved Utah Uteps football team, the visiting OK St Cowboys came into town for a weekend clash and both teams Big 12 opener.
In the end, the hero of the night was TE Brant Kuithe when they needed him the most. The Utes were able to hold Okie St to a FG where the Cowboys would take a 3 point lead. Utah had exhausted their timeouts and needed to drive to get into FG range on what looked to be the final drive of the game.
On 2nd and intermediate, TE Kuthie was up the seam unattended and QB Cam Rising hit him on a laser, Kuthie broke one tackle and he was off to the races! With the 4 point lead in hand, Utah was able to sit in a deep zone and 2 plays later CB Keenan Johnson picked off a pass and returned it for a Utes TD to put the game away with under 1 minute to go.
The Okie St running attack and Ollie Gordon showed why he is a force to be reckoned with as he was the leading receiver for the Pokes as well as its leading rusher. GG uf, good luck the rest of the way.
