A win here would have kept Utah in control of its path back to Vegas. Instead, this loss means it needs a win and a lot of help this weekend simply for the right to defend the Pac-12 championship it earned just shy of a year ago.

You can put some of that on the knee, but normally, his decision-making is one of his greatest traits. If nothing else, making sound decisions is sometimes enough to pull Rising through.
Two of the three interceptions were questionable decisions. There was also the fourth-and-2 from the Oregon 26 earlier in the fourth quarter in which the ball appeared to slip out of Rising’s hand, although he may have just short-armed it. Either way, the ball landed at Kincaid’s feet, turnover on downs with 6:54 left.
