Dampier throws 3 TD passes as No. 11 Utah withstands Colorado rally for 27-24 win, improves to 6-0

BOULDER, Colo. -- , Devon Dampier threw three touchdown passes and No. 11 Utah withstood a Hail Mary attempt in the final seconds after a failed lateral play negated a big gain as the Utes held on for a 27-24 victory over the Buffaloes in a game that ended early Sunday. A 15-point favorite, Utah (6-0, 3-0 Big 12) led 13-0 at halftime over a Buffaloes team that had more penalty yards (82) going into intermission than total yards (70). Isaac Wilson helped Colorado (2-4, 0-3) get back on track against his former team and pulled them within a field goal with 1:21 remaining. Utah recovered the onside kick only to punt with just over a minute left, setting the stage for some late-game theatrics. Wilson found an opening in the middle of the field and pitched the ball to Quanell Farrakhan Jr ., who ran to the Utah 38.
