From the Utes’ fourth-quarter rally to Kansas State running over Utah to penalties playing a big role, it was a wild day at Rice-Eccles Stadium

Kansas State has had worse report cards, but the failure to get stops on defense cost the Wildcats in the end.

SALT LAKE CITY — Standout Utah defensive end John Henry Daley left with a leg injury against Kansas State on Saturday after he had two sacks and 3 1/2 tackles for loss in the first quarter. Daley grabbed toward his leg on a non-contact play with 2:23 left in the first. He was helped to the locker room and did not return to the sideline.

On Saturday at 4 p.m. ET, Ryan Davis and the Utah Utes (8-2) will take on the Kansas State Wildcats (5-5). The game between the Utes and Wildcats will be airing on ESPN2. Keep up with college football all season on FOX Sports. Learn more about the Utah Utes and the Kansas State Wildcats.
