After the score, Jordan had 10 carries for 77 yards and a touchdown.
The Utes’ first touchdown of the game came during the second quarter on a 91-yard touchdown pass from Jake Bentley to Britain Covey.
Bentley was replaced at quarterback by Drew Lisk just before halftime after the Cougars took a 28-7 lead over the Utes.
Lisk started the second half for Utah.
That drive was MUCH better. Consistently getting up field and making plays.
Utes needed that in the worst way.#GoUtes #WSUvsUTAH @kslsports
