In a critical Big 12 matchup, the No. 12 Utah Utes leaned on true freshman quarterback Isaac Wilson, who was starting in place of injured veteran Cam Rising, to secure a statement victory over No. 14 Oklahoma State.

The touchdown to Kuithe was a bright spot, and just like he did against Utah State, Wilson settled in during the second quarter and completed 9 of 10 passes during a stretch. He’s shown the ability to make high-level throws above his experience level, and despite the interceptions, Wilson never looked rattled at any point in the game.

After struggling against the run against Utah State a week ago, Utah shut down OSU running back Ollie Gordon II despite not having its star linebacker Karene Reid for the second week in a row. Gordon finished with 11 carries, 42 rushing yards and a 3.8 yard per carry average.
