Utah Stays Unbeaten with a 41-24 Win over Kansas
Utah gave the ball away twice (an interception and a fumble) and still won by 17. The unbeaten Utes ran for 290 yards on 44 carries, gained 548 yards in all, and beat Kansas 41-24 to move to 5-0.
Utah never trailed. Wayshawn Parker ran in from 5 yards with 9:21 left in the first quarter, Devon Dampier added a 12-yard run, and it was 14-0. Kansas came back with Isaiah Marshall throwing 3 yards to Dylan Edwards, Dampier answered with a 6-yard pass to Noah Bennee, and Marshall's 6-yard run and a Martin Connington field goal with four seconds left made it 21-17 at the half. Dampier threw 2 yards to Ricky Johnson early in the third (the extra point was blocked), and Marshall hit Nik McMillan for 29 yards with 27 seconds left in the quarter to make it 27-24. Kansas went into the fourth down three.
Then it ended. Dampier threw a 1-yard touchdown to Semi Taulanga with 10:45 left, and Parker took a handoff 90 yards to the house with 7:13 to go. Take away the 90-yarder and Utah still wins 34-24. Marshall threw for 333 yards, with Cam Pickett catching 8 for 134, but he also had an interception and Kansas ran for 58 yards on 21 carries.
Utah had 548 yards and Kansas had 391, so the Jayhawks moved the ball too. They scored three times in the first half and then had to chase the Utes through the fourth quarter.
Kansas is 2-3. Utah is a perfect 5-0. For fantasy, Dampier and Parker both topped 34 points, and Marshall's 33.4 came in a loss.
