I don’t know any of those without looking them up. I should know the kickers name though but I’m drawing a blank.

[CincyUte]

I remember listening to Utah radio pregame shows back in the 80s.  People would be calling in with their game predictions, and each one would say “Utah by 5.”

It was a cool thing we had going but you never hear it anymore.

[Central Coast Ute]

That’s cool. I didn’t know that. I’ve seen a user name Utesby5. Now I know where it comes from.

3. Yergensen kicked a 55 yard FG for the first of our 34-21 victories.

4. The largest margin in a Utah win happened just a decade ago – 54-10.

5. Randy Gomez was the QB in 1978 and through a 19 yard TD pass late in the game for the 23-22 win.
