Isaac Wilson and the #Utes offense finds life following a seven play, 76-yard drive capped off with a touchdown pass from the freshman quarterback. That'll settle the nerves.

After a hell of a throw from Barnes, USU follows it up with two negative plays. A sack and a missed field goal keeps the #Utes within a 14-10 margin with 7:09 remaining until halftime.

That's a major play for the #Utes. Bryson Barnes gets intercepted by Cameron Calhoun after driving down the field. That'll change momentum.

Utah scores on a jump ball to Caleb Lohner. Hard not to miss the 6-foot-8 former basketball player in the endzone. That's Isaac Wilson's second touchdown pass of the day.

Utah grows its lead following a rushing touchdown from Micah Bernard. Seems like the #Utes are going for two, but — as of now — they lead 26-14.

Things change fast. Wilson throws his first interception of the game after the throw bounces off the hands of Brant Kuithe. USU gets the ball back down 28-21.

"I thought he had his best (performance)... He needs to continue to learn command of Andy Ludwig's offense." Kyle Whittingham says that he's been impressed with Isaac Wilson's progression.

Whittingham said offensive line play — like the rest of the team — wasn't too efficient in the first quarter. But he says they came around and then ended up playing one of their most efficient of the season.

"He's kind of a bully... it's going to have to be a concerted effort to bring him down." Kyle Whittingham says the #Utes defense is keyed in on Ollie Gordon and Oklahoma State's run game.

I spent the last year examining the longstanding agreement ("MOU") between the University of Utah and the Ute Indian Tribe. Under that, the U. gets to use the Utes' name for athletics. But what does the tribe get? And is it a fair deal? A thread 🧵: sltrib.com/news/education…
