SALT LAKE CITY — Utah football running back NaQuari Rogers capped off a run-heavy fourth Utes drive with a 22-yard touchdown run against Arizona State.
The score gave Rogers his fifth TD of the season.
Typically, one would assume that a two-minute, six-play, 75-yard drive consisted of at least one long-ball pass play.
But no. The Utes threw once on the drive, and that play netted just four yards. However, they did have a 10, 19, 13, and 22-yard rush.
At halftime, Utah led 21-3, and most of the credit deserves to go to the ground game. 183 of the offense’s 220 yards came on the ground. Quarterback Devon Dampier led the way with 87, and Rogers added 46.
