STILLWATER, Okla. – Utah Football made a statement to open Big 12 Conference play as they defeated the No. 14 Oklahoma State Cowboys in Boone Pickens Stadium on Saturday.
Defense stole the show for the Utes in week four. Through the first three quarters, they held the Cowboys to just three points. 10 of OSU’s 14 drives either ended in a punt or a turnover.
Utah’s star quarterback, Cam Rising, watched from the sideline with a hand injury but it didn’t end up mattering. True freshman QB Isaac Wilson completed 17 of his 29 pass attempts for 207 yard and a touchdown.

First Quarter
Very quick 3 & out for the Utah defense to start this one.
β Steve Bartle (@BartleKSLsports) September 21, 2024
WOW⦠Utah freshman Isaac Wilson has taken the field and will start this one for the Utes!
β Steve Bartle (@BartleKSLsports) September 21, 2024
Utahβs Brant Kuithe is down after hitting the ground pretty hardβ¦ that looks like a rib, hopefully just knocked the wind out of him. But heβs still down

After getting stuffed on 3rd down⦠Utah is going for it on 4th and Kuithe is back in the game
β Steve Bartle (@BartleKSLsports) September 21, 2024
Within the 45 minutes leading up to the game I got an update that a prominent Utah figure was telling people Cam was going to play. Just unreal.

After allowing the Oklahoma State offense all the way to the 6 yard line, the Utah defense gets a stop and limits the Cowboys to a field goal.

Wowwwwβ¦ I donβt even know how you judge that catch. He had it with a few steps.
β Steve Bartle (@BartleKSLsports) September 21, 2024
Helluva catch by Dorian, you give him that just for the effort

Another short possession for OSU. Great PBU by Smith Snowden on 3rd and 10! OSU to puntβ¦
β Steve Bartle (@BartleKSLsports) September 21, 2024
Isaac maneuvers the pocket and completes a pass to Money, who has to adjust to it. If he puts that on him, Money is still running but thatβs a tough throw
β Steve Bartle (@BartleKSLsports) September 21, 2024
Wow⦠4th and 5 Isaac on a sprint out and he tucks and runs to convert!

Utah fails to get points after an explosive play like that is tough.
