The Kyle Whittingham era at Utah ended on a high note, with the Utes defeating UCF 28-14 to snap a seven-game losing streak. Despite finishing the season with a 5-7 record, Utah avoided losing eight games for the first time since 1989. The defense was key in the win, forcing three turnovers that led to 17 points. Micah Bernard also reached the 1,000-yard milestone for the season, becoming the first Utah player to do so since 2019. Freshman wide receiver Zacharyus Williams emerged as a playmaker, leading the team with six receptions for 72 yards. His performance could earn him a larger role next season. Overall, the victory was a positive ending to a challenging season for the Utes, who will look to bounce back stronger in the future.
