MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Devon Dampier threw a career-high four touchdown passes and ran for another score to lead Utah to a 48-14 win over West Virginia on Saturday.
Dampier bounced back from a lopsided home loss to Texas Tech last week in which he didn't thrown a touchdown pass, was intercepted twice, fumbled the ball away once and the Utes were held to 263 total yards.
Utah (4-1, 1-1 Big 12) gained yards in chunks against the Mountaineers, scored on its first three drives and was never challenged by a West Virginia offense that was missing several key players, including quarterback Nicco Marchiol.
Dampier scored on a 7-yard run . He threw TD tosses of 7 yards to freshman tight end JJ Buchanan, 32 yards to Ryan Davis, 2 yards to tight end Dallen Bentley and 11 yards to running bac
