It was a tale of two halves for the Utes as they trailed 14-10 at the half. Colorado came out in the second half and scored a 61-yard TD on their first play. Utah answered with a three-play scoring drive where Jordan started it with a 35-yard run before Bentley threw a 7-yard pass to Solomon Enis. Then Jordan ran in an 18-yard TD to trim Colorado’s deficit to 21-17.
The Utes scored 24 unanswered after that point to take a 38-21 lead with Jadon Redding scored a field goal after Jordan’s second TD run.
