2019 PAC-12 MORRIS TROPHY WINNER: Utah defensive end Bradlee Anae has been named the winner of the 40th annual Morris Trophy, given annually to the most outstanding offensive and defensive linemen in the Pac-12 Conference. What makes the award unique is the selection procedure, in which the league's starting offensive linemen vote for the defensive winner and vice versa. It is truly a players' award. Anae is Utah's fourth recipient of the award and third defensive selection. Defensive linemen Star Lotulelei (2011) and Nate Orchard (2014) and offensive lineman Isaac Asiata (2016) have previously won the award.

Anae, who is a finalist for the Ted Hendricks Award, is a semifinalist for the Lombardi Award and also earned semifinalist honors from the Bednarik Award, has 12.5 sacks and 13.5 tackles for loss. He has 35 tackles, a forced fumble and a pass breakup. A 2018 first-team All-Pac-12 selection, Anae's 29.5 career sacks is tied for the school record and ranked fourth among active FBS players. He is also fourth all-time in school history with 41.0 tackles for loss. - Utah Football

12/01/19 - Tyler Huntley, Sr/2020, Utah, 6-1, 196 (DS#20 QB) + More +

After Utah's lone stumble this season - a 30-23 loss at Southern California in September - quarterback Tyler Huntley called a players-only meeting. Huntley is known for his short answers with media and he didn't need to long to get his message across that day. He told his teammates they were a team of destiny and that loss wouldn't define the season. "I told them we needed to focus and we would knock over any obstacle in our way," Huntley said as he walked off the field after No. 6 Utah's Pac-12 South clinching 45-15 victory over Colorado on Saturday night. "I told them we had it in us to accomplish what we wanted. And now here we are. We here!"

The Utes (11-1, 8-1, No 6 CFP) needed a quarter to get rolling in 25-degree temperatures, but romped to their eighth straight victory as Brant Kuithe scored three touchdowns. Huntley was 14-for-17 for 165 yards and connected with Kuithe twice for scores. "It was a little cold outside," Huntley said of the Utes punting on their first three possessions. "We started out slow, but we handled business." Huntley admitted the emotions of senior night got to their team's 19 seniors, including the three from Hallandale High School in Florida -- Huntley, Zack Moss and Demari Simpkins, who all played integral roles in the victory and the team's best season since joining the Pac-12. - Utah/AP College Football

Zack Moss ran for a season-high 203 yards and No. 7 Utah rolled to a 35-7 victory over Arizona on Saturday night. The Utes (10-1, 7-1 Pac-12, No. 7 CFP) have won seven straight games and are the lone Pac-12 team in serious contention for a spot in the College Football Playoff after No. 6 Oregon lost to Arizona State 31-28 earlier on Saturday. Utah's defense was dominant once again, holding an opponent to seven points or fewer for the fifth time in six games. Arizona managed just 196 total yards and a big chunk of those came in the fourth quarter when mostly backups were playing.

Tyler Huntley completed 19 of 23 passes for 211 yards with one touchdown and one interception. The 5-foot-10, 222-pound Moss barreled through the Arizona defense all night, averaging 7.8 yards per carry. Tight end Brant Kuithe ran for two touchdowns on two carries. He had just one carry all season before Saturday. The Utes dominated the first half, gaining 291 total yards to Arizona's 56. They scored on Kuithe's 3-yard touchdown and Huntley's 3-yard pass to Demari Simpkins to take a 14-0 lead by halftime. - Utah/AP College Football
