  11/26/21 - QB Cameron RisingrSr/2025, Utah

  Losing a couple of early season games was far from the most difficult thing Utah had to overcome to get back to the Pac-12 title game. "We've taken probably the hardest thing that can happen and we've turned it into something beautiful," receiver Britain Covey said after Senior Day victory against Colorado on Friday. Cameron Rising threw three touchdown passes, Tavion Thomas ran for 142 yards and a score, and No. 16 Utah beat the Buffaloes 28-13. Within the last year, the Utes lost star running back Ty Jordan and defensive back Aaron Lowe to tragic shooting deaths. Utah honored them with a TJ-AL logo on their helmets. "There's always been a reverence whenever we've talked about them, but we're getting to the point now where we just celebrate them and honor what they represent. It's more than two guys now, it's the entire team, the whole university," Covey said.

Utah Coach Kyle Whittingham said his team "didn't have the look in our eyes that we had last week" and his players admitted it was difficult to focus since they already clinched the Pac-12 South. But they didn't want to let their fallen teammates down. The Utes feel they are a team of destiny. "I know they are out there with us," said linebacker Devin Lloyd, who had nine tackles and a sack in what could be his last home game before declaring for the NFL draft. "They are the reason why we have been as successful as we have been." Utah rallied from a 1-2 start to win eight of their last nine games on their way to their third Pac-12 championship appearance in four seasons. The Utes (9-3, 8-1 Pac-12) rushed for 265 yards and held Colorado (4-8, 3-6 Pac-12) to 148 yards of total offense. "In this day and age, that is not easy to do. Great job by our defense...they were active, they flew around," Whittingham said. - Utah/AP College Football
