No. 11 Utah holds off Colorado 27-24 to stay unbeaten

No.

11 Utah beat Colorado 27-24 in Boulder on Saturday night, keeping the Utes unbeaten at 6-0.

Utah led 13-0 at halftime, but Colorado fought back in the second half and cut the gap to three points.

Colorado quarterback Isaac Wilson, who previously played for Utah, threw for 256 yards and two touchdowns, but also had two interceptions.

Utah’s Devon Dampier threw three touchdown passes and also had two interceptions.

Late in the game, a Utah mistake gave Colorado a chance to mount a final attack, but an illegal forward pass erased a long gain by Wilson and Quanell Farrakhan Jr. Colorado’s final pass fell incomplete, while the loss left the Buffaloes 2-4 and extended their losing streak to four games.

Utah has won 12 straight games and will host Houston next Saturday, while Colorado visits Oklahoma State.
