The Runnin' Utes are relying on their short-term memory after the Southwest Baptist Bearcats handed them a stunning defeat. They are trying to avoid an 0-2 start for the second time in the last three years against the Wisconsin-Green Bay Phoenix.

Utah took a 22-8 run to open the second half and never looked back, beating Jackson State 77-49. Morgan Warburton led the Utes with 18 points, seven rebounds and five assists. Kalee Whipple and Katie King also had standout games for the Utes, scoring 16 and 15 points respectively.

Since quarterback Brian Johnson's arrival in 2004, Utah has only beaten its archrival once. During that game, Johnson wasn't even on the field.

Faculty members at Brigham Young University have, for the second year in a row, prohibited the staff of BYU's student newspaper, The Daily Universe, from teaming up to create a joint rivalry guide previewing the two schools' annual football matchup.

The Utah men's basketball team is known for its size, with the average player being 6-feet-6-inches, but against Southwest Baptist on Saturday, its size became a disadvantage, as the Bearcats used their speed to beat the Utes on their own floor.

After getting swept on its own court, BYU came to Crimson Court looking for revenge, but the Utes had other plans for the Cougars.

Runnin' Utes head coach Jim Boylen said some Division II teams are good enough to play at the Division I level, which he found out the hard way Saturday with a 80-79 loss to the Southwest Baptist Bearcats.

Utah and BYU both have high-powered and productive offensive weapons this season, although when comparing the two schools, the firepower comes from two different sources.

With the innovations of the spread offense and getting players out in space, teams are trying to find quicker, faster players. This is especially true for the running back position.

One has statistics that other quarterbacks only dream of. The other leads an undefeated team with the inside track to a Bowl Championship Series game.
