Utah Postgame Notes
Utah vs. San Jose State
Sept. 16, 2017
Â
Utah is 24-1 in non-conference games since joining the Pac-12 in 2011, including an 18-0 record the last four years.
Â
San Jose State had just two first-half rushing yards, had 14 rushing yards through the third quarter and ended the game with 30 total rushing yards.
Â
Utah scored 24 points off turnovers.
Â
Tyler Huntley threw for 341 yards (30-of-43, 1 INT) with four touchdowns, his second-straight 300-yard game. The last quarterback to throw for back-to-back 300-yard passing games was Brian Johnson in 2008 (vs. BYU and Alabama). Huntley was also Utah's leading rusher with 53 yards on 14 carries.
Â
Darren Carrington had 153 yards receiving (nine catches), his third-straight 100-yard game this year. He is the first Utah player to have three-straight 100-yard receiving games since Dres Anderson in 2013. Carrington had three receiving touchdowns (7, 26, 15 yards) and has four touchdowns this season. It is the second three-touchdown receiving game that a Utah receiver has had since 2006 (Raleon Singleton vs. ASU in 2016, before that Brent Castel vs. UNLV 2006).
Â
Raelon Singleton had his first receiving touchdown of the season (fifth career) on a 13-yard reception. Singleton had 24 receiving yards on two catches.
Â
Samson Nacua made his first career start at receiver and had a career-high 59 yards receiving (seven catches).
Â
Zack Moss was Utah's second-leading rusher with 43 yards on 11 carries. He scored a five-yard touchdown, his second score of the season.
Â
Sunia Tauteoli tied for the team lead with seven tackles, including two TFL and an interception. It was his first pick this year and the second of his career.
Â
Marquise Blair had a career-high eight tackles and led Utah with two pass breakups.
Â
Kylie Fitts had two sacks, three tackles and a forced fumble before leaving the game in the second quarter.
Â
Julian Blackmon made his second interception of the season (second career) in the second quarter.
Â
Matt Gay kicked a 56-yard field goal in the second quarter, the second-longest field goal in school history (the longest is a 59-yard field goal by Marv Bateman in 1971). It is the first time in school history that a kicker has made two 50-yard field goals in a game. It is the longest field goal in the country entering this weekend. Gay went 4-for-4 on the night with makes of 56, 51, 21 and 20 yards.
Â
Boobie Hobbs had a career-high 95 punt return yards (three returns).
Â
Attendance is 45,881, the 46th-straight sellout at Rice-Eccles Stadium since the 2010 season opener. It is the 43nd standing-room only crowd in that streak.
