Utah Runs Away from Arkansas 43-10 Behind Dampier
Arkansas led 3-0. That was the good news. Max Gilbert hit a 29-yard field goal in the first quarter, Wayshawn Parker answered with a 1-yard touchdown run, and Utah never gave the lead back on the way to a 43-10 win.
From there it was a steady pile-on. Devon Dampier ran in a 7-yard score and Utah went for two and got it, Parker added a 9-yard run, and then a 7-yard touchdown pass from Dampier to Parker with 27 seconds left in the half made it 29-3. Noah Bennee caught a 1-yard touchdown early in the third and Dampier scored from 2 yards out in the fourth. The Utes were up 43-3 before Arkansas got in the end zone, and the Razorbacks' only touchdown, a 21-yard pass from AJ Hill to Ismael Cisse with 6:43 left, was the last score of the night.
The yardage says the same thing the scoreboard does: 446 for Utah, 305 for Arkansas. The Razorbacks threw it plenty (244 yards through the air) but managed 61 on 28 carries on the ground, and Utah's defense sacked them four times. Each side threw one interception, so there is no turnover story to tell. This one was just a gap.
Utah is 2-0 and Arkansas is 1-1. Take away the two-point conversion and the Utes still win by 31, so do not go looking for a close call here.
For fantasy, this was a Utah buffet. Dampier (39.3) and Parker (34.8) went one-two for the game, and Bennee's 113 yards on four catches made him the third name on the sheet at 21.3. Nobody in an Arkansas jersey got past 11.5.
