Wilson leads Utah past Utah State 30-26

SALT LAKE CITY -- It's not as easy as it used to be, but Travis Wilson made sure Utah is back to beating Utah State again. Wilson threw for 302 yards and two touchdowns to help Utah edge Utah State 30-26 in the season-opener on Thursday night. Wilson, a sophomore who was unexpectedly pressed into the starting lineup because of injuries last year, played error-free while completing 17 of 28 passes and rushed for a key first down on Utah's final drive. Last season, the Aggies snapped a 12-game skid against the Utes, 27-20 in overtime, and used the game as a springboard to a school-record 11-2 record. Chuckie Keeton , who completed 31-of-40 passes for 314 yards, scored on a 15-yard run to give the Aggies a 23-14 lead early in the second half and the visiting Aggies fans' cheers echoed in the suddenly quiet stadium. But the Utes roared back.
