General
- Arizona won the toss and deferred with Utah receiving the kickoff to start the game.Â
- The attendance in the game was 52,898, which ranks fifth all-time in Rice-Eccles Stadium. It was Utah's 86th consecutive sellout.Â
- Utah won the time of possession battle 31:55 to 28:05, the eighth straight game that the Utes have held the ball longer than their opponent, dating back to Utah's game against Washington in 2023.Â
Offense
- Senior wide receiver Dorian Singer finished the game with 155 receiving yards on a career-high tying nine catches. It is his fifth-career 100-yard game (first at Utah) and the most receiving yards by a Utah WR since 2010 (Devonte Christopher, Sept. 2 vs. Pittsburgh, 155 yds).Â
- Six of Singer's nine catches were in the first half, recording 101 yards (16.8 ypc). The last time a Utah player had 100+ yards in the first half of a game was Dalton Kincaid vs. Colorado on Nov. 26, 2022 (102 yards on five receptions).Â
- Utah has now had a 100-yard rusher or receiver in all five games this season (Dijon Stanley vs. SUU, 150 rec. yds; Micah Bernard vs. Baylor, 118 rush yds; Micah Bernard at Utah State, 123 rush yds; Micah Bernard at Oklahoma State, 182 rush yds; Dorian Singer vs. Arizona, 155Â rec. yds).Â
- Utah also had a pair of players extend their catch streaks with tight end Brant Kuithe catching a game in 37 straight games and wide receiver Money Parks catching a pass in 28 straight.Â
- Kuithe recorded a season-high five catches, bringing him to 165 in his career, which ranks fourth all-time at Utah (first among TEs). He now has 34 career games with three-or-more receptions.Â
- Senior running back Micah Bernard rushed for 91 yards on 16 attempts (5.7 ypc). He has averaged 128.5 yards per game over the last four games.Â
- With his 16 carries against Arizona, Bernard pushed past the 300-career carries mark, sitting with 306.Â
- Freshman quarterback Isaac Wilson threw for a career-high 280 yards (1 TD), which included a career-long 37-yard pass in the fourth quarter.
- Wilson also matched his career-high with 20 completions.
- Wilson started the game by going 7-for-7 passing, the first time a Utah QB had seven-or-more passes in a row to start a game since 2015 (Travis Wilson vs. USC, Oct. 24, 9-for-9).Â
- Senior wide receiver Mycah Pittman had a season-long catch for 21 yards on a third-and-seven late in the second quarter.Â
- Tight end Caleb Lohner scored Utah's only offensive touchdown of the game on a 20-yard catch with 11:54 to go in the fourth quarter. He now has exactly three catches on the season - all for touchdowns.Â
DefenseÂ
- Safety Tao Johnson recorded a new career-high in total tackles with his nine against Arizona, also securing his first-career interception.Â
- Safety Alaka'i Gilman produced a season-high eight stops, notching a career-best 2.0 TFLs.Â
- Linebacker Johnathan Hall also recorded a career-high 2.0 TFLs in the game.Â
Special Teams
- Punter Jack Bouwmeester tied his season-long punt with a 60-yarder in the third quarter. He now has 26 career punts for 50+ yards which includes four for 60-or-longer.Â
