SALT LAKE CITY, UT – Perhaps the oddsmakers knew what they were talking about and perhaps the Mountain Time zone difference was too much. At Rice-Eccles Stadium late Saturday night, Nov. 1, No. 24 Utah held serve at home over the No. 16/17 Cincinnati Bearcats 45-14.

It's UC's second loss of the season, their first in the Big 12, and the first game where a team ran away from them.

According to ESPN College GameDay, the Utes are now 56-14 in recent night kickoffs. The noise was as advertised as 51,672 could be heard bouncing off the Wasatch Mountain Range.

UC briefly tied the game in the first quarter, but after Wayshawn Parker took a direct snap 39 yards for a score near the end of the first frame, the Utes would pull away from the Bearcats.
