Utah won its 21st game against a BCS school since the BCS began in 1998. Utah has more wins against BCS schools than any other NAQ team. Utah scored 60 points for the first time since defeating San Diego State 63-14 in 2008. The Utes' 68 points is the most since defeating Wyoming 69-14 in 1983 and the most it has ever scored against a team in a BCS conference.
Utah scored 50 points in three straight games for the first time since 2004. The Utes defeated New Mexico 56-14 and San Jose State 53-3. In 2004, Utah scored 63 points against UNLV, 51 points against San Diego State and 63 points against Colorado State.
Utah scored 31 points in the second quarter, which is the most points the Utes have scored in the second quarter since Utah started keeping that stat in 1968.
