In a game that had implications for the College Football Playoff, No. 12 Utah defeated No. 14 Oklahoma State by a final score of 22-19.

Saturday afternoon’s game started out as a defensive struggle, as only one touchdown was scored through the first three quarters. Utes quarterback Cam Rising was ruled out with a hand injury after attempting to throw before the game, resulting in true freshman Isaac Wilson starting for the second straight week.

Wilson, the younger brother of Denver Broncos quarterback Zach Wilson, faced Oklahoma State.

He wasn’t quite as polished compared to his three-touchdown performance in a Sept. 14 win over Utah State, but he still looked comfortable in the pocket and making plays with his legs. Wilson finished 17 of 29 for 207 yards and a touchdown to go along with two interceptions, and added another 41 yards on the ground.

Fans were impressed with his performance.

Things will get really interesting if True freshman Isaac Wilson takes the win in Stillwater.

Utah’s rushing attack was led by Micah Bernard. The senior running back racked up 182 yards on 25 carries, helping the Utes control the clock throughout the game.

Seventh-year starter Alan Bowman started at quarterback for Oklahoma State, but he was pulled early in the second half after the Cowboys managed to score just three points.

Reserve player Garret Rangel initially replaced him at quarterback, but head coach Mike Gundy reinstated Bowman after Rangel completed only three of his 11 pass attempts.

Bowman led the Cowboys back from a 22-3 deficit in the fourth quarter, trailing by three points with less than two minutes left in the game, but Utah ran out the clock on its final possession.

He completed 16 of 33 passes for 206 yards and two touchdowns, throwing two interceptions.

After starting the year 3-0, Utah claimed its first Big 12 victory of the season on Saturday. The Utes will look to remain undefeated in their next game, a showdown with Arizona on Sept. 28.
