Senior running back Micah Bernard led his team in singing the school’s fight song, “Utah Man,” after snapping the losing streak. The win provided relief for the team as they head into a crucial offseason.
The victory was fueled by the defense, with cornerback Zemaiah Vaughn scoring a pick-six to kickstart the game. The defense went on to force three turnovers and score two touchdowns.
