What worked, what didn’t for Utah vs. Cal? Sione Vaki gave the Utes’ offense a huge spark by carrying the ball 15 times, while the defense helped make things easier by generating a pair of turnovers.
Sione Vaki gave the Utes’ offense a huge spark by carrying the ball 15 times, while the defense helped make things easier by generating a pair of turnovers.
Against Oregon State, Vaki went in as a wildcat QB and ran the ball once. Against Cal, he did much more than that. Utah Utes running back Ja'Quinden Jackson runs the ball against the California Golden Bears during the first half at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City on Saturday, October 14, 2023.
“Yeah, I was pissed!” Jackson said about playing with an apparent edge following his lingering injuries. “That’s just basically what it was — I was pissed off.”Whittingham said at the beginning of the week that, excellent as Utah’s defense has been this season, the team was lagging a bit in terms of generating turnovers.
In the first half against Cal, the Utes actually had an impressive 210 yards of offense. But only 51 of them were from passing. Still, considering it was his first game back after being hospitalized for bruised ribs, he did just enough — including making some plays with his legs.“Like an engine, you need all cylinders firing to get that sucker to go, and I thought we were just firing in certain aspects throughout the whole season,” said Barnes. “Once we finally get all those cylinders together, we’ll get on a roll.”The Utes were still confused postgame about why safety Cole Bishop was tossed out on a late targeting call.
