The Utes had over 200 yards rushing for the third time this season (310 yards). Utah scored four rushing touchdowns, its most rushing scores this season.
 
Colorado had just 40 total yards in the second quarter (14 rushing, 26 passing).
 
Utah shut out an opponent in the first half for the second time this season (BYU).

Zack Moss rushed for a career-high 196 yards (26 carries), his fourth 100-yard game this season. He has 1,023 yards this season, becoming Utah's 14th 1,000-yard rusher. Moss scored rushing touchdowns of 15 and two yards, bringing his season total to nine rushing scores. He led the Utes in all-purpose yards (221), which included 25 yards receiving (1 catch).
 
Devonta'e Henry-Cole had a career-high 79 rushing yards (nine carries).
 
Matt Gay went 2-of-2 in field goals with makes of 48 and 37 yards. Gay is 27-of-31 in field goals this season, increasing his school records in both makes and attempts.
 
Darren Carrington led Utah in receiving yards with six catches for 64 yards. Raelon Singleton had two catches for 54 yards.
 
Bradlee Anae forced a fumble in the fourth quarter, his team-leading third forced fumble of the season. Anae had three tackles for loss (2.5 sacks) and was second on the team in tackles (8).
 
Cody Barton led the team with a season-high 10 tackles, which included two sacks. He also recovered a fumble in the fourth quarter with a 13-yard return.
