TUSCON, Ariz. – Utah Utes star running back Zack Moss added two more reasons why he is the greatest running back in school history.
In the first quarter against Arizona, Moss needed 45 yards to reach 1,000 yards on the season and he did that by the second offensive drive. It’s the third straight season that Moss has rushed for over 1,000 yards.
It’s the first time in school history that a Utah football running back has three 1,000 rushing yard seasons in a career.
