The No. 12 Utah Utes secured a significant 22-19 victory over the No. 14 Oklahoma State Cowboys in their Big 12 debut, improving to a 4-0 record for the season. Despite playing without their starting quarterback Cam Rising, Utah's backup freshman QB Isaac Wilson, the first true freshman QB to beat an AP Top 25 team, led the team effectively, marking his second win as a starter. Micah Bernard's outstanding performance, with 183 rushing yards, played a crucial role in the victory. Oklahoma State's late comeback attempt fell short, with the Cowboys scoring 16 points in their last two drives but failing to overcome Utah's lead. This win keeps Utah's playoff hopes alive as they prepare to host Arizona next week.
