Huge upset and other happenings in Utah's College Football

This first one is Big...

Southern Utah 30 Eastern Washington 27

A week after surrendering the first win of the season to previously winless Weber State, SUU stole a win from FCS #1 Eastern Washington.  The Eagles were nursing a 1 touchdown lead and inside the T-Bird 15 at the beginning of the 4th quarter when on the second play of the quarter, running back Demitrius Bronson fumbled the ball.  After an exchange of punts, Brad Soresen led a 78-yard game-tying touchdown touchdown drive that was capped with a 21 yard touchdown pass to Fatu Maola.  After Eastern Washington missed a 37 yard field goal, Sorensen led the Thunderbids on another long drive, this time for the game-winning field goal.

SUU MVP: QB Brad Soresen

BYU 41 Georgia Tech 17

Georgia Tech scored on an interception, a kick off return and a field goal, but otherwise it was total Cougar domination on the road in Atlanta.  Freshman running back Jamaal Williams outgained and completely outscored the Georgia Tech offense all by himself.  He had 107 yards rushing and 54 yards receiving with 3 touchdowns on the ground and catching 1 touchdown pass.  The Yellowjackets were held to 157 total yards and managed only 3 points on offense.

BYU MVP: RB Jamaal Williams

Utah 49 California 27

The Utes won in big fashion over the Bears, so technically their bowl hopes are still alive.  (More on why it may be all academic, later).  Blackout night was a fun one for Ute fans.  For the first time in history, they get to witness not 1 but 2 kickoff returns for touchdowns by the same player.  By the time the Cal offense got on track, the game was out of reach.

Utah MVP: KR Reggie Dunn


Utah State 48 UTSA 17

The Aggies took the Kerwynn Williams and Chuckie Keeton show to the Alamodome.  The Aggies scored 20 points in the 2nd quarter and 21 points in the 3rd.  During that time, the Roadrunners only scored only 7 points during that half of the game.

USU MVP: QB Chuckie Keeton
