The 3 FBS teams in Utah each won the last game of the season against 3 of the worst teams in college football. How did they do?
Utah 42 Colorado 35
The Utes went up for good in Boulder on Friday after Reggie Dunn returned his 4th kickoff of the season for a touchdown. The Buffaloes must have been feeling a little swagger at that time on special teams, having just tied the game on their own kickoff return for a touchdown. Colorado, for being one of the worst teams in the FBS this season, gave the Utes a very good game. John White IV became the first Ute to have back to back 1,000 yard rushing seasons. He also broke his arm on the second to last play of Utah's final touchdown drive. Stayed in to cap the drive. After the exchange of kickoff returns, Utah was able to run out the clock.
Utah MVP: RB John White IV
Utah State 45 Idaho 9
For the first time ever, the Utah State Aggies have a 10-win season. For the first time in 76 years, Utah State has a conference title all to themselves. They simply needed to beat lowly Idaho in order to do so. The Vandals complied by giving USU good field position the entire game.
USU MVP: RB Kerwynn Williams
BYU 50 New Mexico State 14
I think that the BYU QB controversy that has emerged can be settled by pointing out that NMSU may be the worst college football team this season, or at least the worst that the Cougars played. However, James Lark, in his first and only regular season start, did earn a 172 PI rating, that is impressive against a pee-wee team. Cody Hoffman's 5 TD catches is also impressive. What is not impressive is BYU's very impregnable offensive line, which has been a sore spot all season, including a game that featured a dominating offensive performance.
BYU MVP: QB James Lark, WR Cody Hoffman
