Isaac Wilson throws three TD passes, leads No. 12 Utah to 38-21 win over Utah State

LOGAN, Utah -- , Isaac Wilson had 239 yards passing and three touchdowns in his first career start to lead No. 12 Utah to a 35-21 victory over Utah State on Saturday. Wilson started in place of Cam Rising, who sat out after injuring his throwing hand against Baylor last week. Nine players caught a pass from the true freshman in his first 200-yard game. He was the first Utah quarterback to throw three touchdown passes in his first start as a true freshman. “Definitely after that first drive I felt comfortable and ready to go,” Wilson said. Micah Bernard added 123 yards rushing and a touchdown, and Mike Mitchell ran for 75 yards. Bernard had his second straight 100-yard game and the fourth of his career. The Utes totaled 460 yards on offense and averaged 6.2 yards per play. Utah (3-0) beat Utah State for the 15th time in the last 16 meetings in their rivalry that dates to 1892.
