Offense muted in latest loss

- By Matthew Coles

SALT LAKE CITY — Zack Moss ran for 115 yards and two touchdowns, breaking two school rushing records in the process, as No. 12 Utah routed Cal 350 on Saturday night.

After becoming Utah’s career leader in yards rushing last week, Moss increased his total to 33 touchdowns on the ground and surpassed Del Rodgers, who set the previous mark of 31 from 197881. Moss also reached 100 yards rushing for the 15th time, breaking the school record he had shared with Devontae Booker and John White IV.

Moss also finished with 89 yards on three receptions.

Cal had held 14 consecutiv­e opponents under 25 points, the longest active streak in the country.

It took Utah (71, 41 Pac12) just a half to snap that streak, even with a hobbled quarterbac­k. The Utes rolled to 351 yards and 28 points in the first half while allowing just 33 yards for the Bears (44, 14).

Tyler Huntley threw for 214 yards and a touchdown on 11for17 passing before sitting out the second half and resting his injured lower left leg.

The Bears have lost four in a row after starting 40 and reaching No. 15 in The Associated Press poll.

In his first start, freshman quarterbac­k Spencer Brasch was under constant harassment and finished 7for19 passing for 47 yards. Regular starter Chase Garbers and backup Devon Modster were both injured.

Jason Shelley hit Brant Kuithe on a 1yard pass and scored on a 1yard run to give Utah a 280 lead at halftime.
