Utah had won its past five games against Colorado by an average score of 35-14 and came into Saturday’s game a 30-point favorite, but even with that high a bar, the Utes still made a resounding statement, going up 42-0 at halftime, outgaining the hopeless Buffaloes 662-185 and cruising to a 63-21 win that, honestly, flattered the hosts. The win, combined with other events (namely, Oregon’s loss to Oregon State), was enough to push the Utes into the Pac-12 Championship for the fourth time in five seasons. — Connelly
