Still without Cam Rising, No. 11 Utah rides defense to 14-7 win over No. 22 UCLA

Associated Press  

The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! That’s what our defensive effort was,” said Utah coach Kyle Whittingham, a longtime defensive coordinator who is known to adore low-scoring games. “Tremendous performance by so many defensive players.” After splitting practice reps with Rising, Nate Johnson looked sharp early in his second career start, but Utah’s offense was limited in the second half by UCLA’s defense and some conservative play-calling. In his familiar understated style, Kelly said, “We have to run the ball better than that to win football games and we know that.” THE TAKEAWAY UCLA: The Bruins somehow had a chance to tie the game on their final drive but again failed to protect the quarterback. UCLA’s inability to run the ball and the early pick-6 loomed large throughout the game as the Bruins stymied Utah’s one-dimensional offense.
