First Quarter


The game kicked off with Utah establishing an early lead through a field goal by Dillon Curtis. Despite missing two other attempts and having one blocked, Curtis's successful kick set the tone for Utah's dominance. The first quarter ended with Utah leading 3-0.


Second Quarter


Both teams struggled to find their rhythm offensively in the second quarter, resulting in no points scored by either side. The defenses held strong, keeping each other at bay and maintaining pressure on opposing quarterbacks.


Third Quarter


Utah came out strong after halftime, scoring two touchdowns in quick succession during the third quarter. Devon Dampier led this charge with his precise passing game, completing 27 out of 41 attempts for a total of 230 yards and two touchdowns. His performance was pivotal as he connected well with receivers like Ryan Davis who caught ten passes for 91 yards.


Fourth Quarter


In the final quarter, Utah continued its offensive onslaught by adding another pair of touchdowns while limiting Wyoming to just one touchdown late in the period. NaQuari Rogers contributed significantly on the ground with his rushing prowess; he carried for 60 yards and secured one touchdown from his efforts.


Defensively, John Henry Daley stood out for Utah as he recorded two sacks and forced a fumble that was recovered by Lander Barton—highlighting what went wrong for Wyoming's offense against such an aggressive defense.


The post-game analysis reveals that while both teams had moments of brilliance defensively—Wyoming managed to hold off several red zone threats—the efficiency displayed by Utah’s offense ultimately dictated terms throughout most periods.
