Eight games into the season, with seven wins and one loss, head coach Kyle Whittingham made the high-risk, high-reward move of benching starter Terrance Cain for true freshman Jordan Wynn just one week before the Utes travel to Fort Worth to take on the No. 4 Horned Frogs. The move seemed to pay off, as the Utes had their most complete offensive performance of the season Saturday with Wynn under center.

After a week of speculation as to who would be under center for the Utes, true freshman Jordan Wynn stepped onto the field Saturday and showed he deserved the starting job, helping to beat the Lobos 45-14.

Proving to be quite a dynamic duo, Eddie Wide and Sausan Shakerin delivered a nasty one-two blow to New Mexico's defense Saturday, each accumulating more than 100 yards and two touchdowns on the night.

True freshman Jordan Wynn got the fist start of his career Saturday afternoon and became the first true freshman to start a game at quarterback for the Utes since 1982.

Proving to be quite a dynamic duo, running backs Eddie Wide III and Sausan Shakerin delivered a nasty one-two blow to New Mexico's defense Saturday, each accumulatingmore than100 yards and two touchdowns on the night.

The New Mexico Lobos have had a tough year so far, and they know things aren't going to get any easier this Saturday when they come to Rice-Eccles Stadium to face the No. 14 Utes.

TCU and BYU, expected to be the biggest games of the 2009 season, are right around the corner, but the Utes will have to maintain focus this week as the Lobos are coming to Salt Lake City.

The Utes are 7-1, but find themselves in the same predicament they were in before the season opener against Utah State: Right in the middle of a quarterback controversy.

Fans watched from the stands or thousands of miles away as the Utes marched onto the Spartan field, expecting them to wipe the floor with San Jose players. And 60 minutes later, the Utes marched off the field winners8212;but the victory was hollow.
