Tyler Huntley – Noteworthy
Tyler Huntley is flashing his familiar gap-toothed smile a lot more often these days. “Man, that was pretty tight,” Huntley said with a wide grin after he threw for two touchdowns, ran for another and caught a 58-yard TD pass, leading Utah past Arizona 42-10 on Friday night. In an effort to keep Huntley healthy, Utah coaches talked all fall camp about limiting his hits and making him more of a passer. After losses to Washington and Washington State where the Utah offense sputtered, the Utes committed to the running game and has let Huntley freelance again with his legs and arm.
On a play that typified the game, Huntley handed the ball to Zack Moss, who tossed it to Britain Covey coming the other direction. Covey, a title-winning high school quarterback who is now Utah’s leading receiver, threw a perfect spiral to Huntley for 58-yard touchdown. In postgame interviews, Huntley made sure everyone knew there was no quarterback controversy with Covey. “I’m definitely quarterback and that isn’t even a qustion,” Huntley said after his triple-threat performance. Utah (4-2, 2-2 Pac-12) led 35-0 less than two minutes into the second half. – AP College Football
