Utes drop New Mexico 56-14

The 14th ranked Utah Utes beat the New Mexico Lobos by a score of 56-14 in Albuquerque on Saturday night. Backup quarterback Terrance Cain once again got the start with Jordan Wynn still out with an injured thumb. Cain was outstanding, throwing for 248 yards and 3 touchdowns while connecting on 20 of 23 passes. Cain also rushed for a score just before halftime at the end of a drive where he executed the Utes' two minute offense to perfection.

The offense and defense both looked really good and the game was just a laugher. The only concerning thing was that there were three fumbles by the Utah offense, so hopefully they get that cleaned up. There really wasn't a whole lot to be concerned about but we have to remember that New Mexico is simply a really bad team. The Utes face another really bad team on Saturday when San Jose State visits Rice-Eccles Stadium. Utah is looking really good and I'm feeling good about this team. I expect that they will continue to have a really good year.
