What happened

ESPN RECAP

Kuithe's 3 TDs lifts No. 6 Utah past Colorado 45-15

SALT LAKE CITY -- 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.
