Zack Moss
16 carries, 150 yards, 1 TD
3 receptions, 24 yards, 1 TD
Zack Moss only had 16 carries, but he exploded for 150 yards in pretty much one half. Moss had one great carry, going for 86 yards. Weber State may not be a football powerhouse, but 86 yards for a 215 pound running back isn’t bad. Moss also added three receptions, one of which was a touchdown. Moss looked good, but against Weber State, he should.

Chase Hansen
4 Total Tackles, 3 Solo Tackles
Chase Hansen and the Utah defense looked good. No one player racked up eye-popping stats, but they did look good as a unit. Utah held Weber State to a mere three first downs in the whole game. Utah also limited Weber State to 59 total yards of offense. I don’t care who the opponent is, 59 total yards is a great defensive performance.

Bradlee Anae
4 Total Tackles, 1 Solo Tackle
Bradlee Anae did not look like a star, but again he was part of a defense that gave up fewer than 60 yards. Anae was a constant force in the backfield, but when everyone on the defense is in the backfield, there are only so many tackles to be made. Anae will have many games this season where he can show off his ability.

Julian Blackmon
2 Passes Defended
1 Tackle
Justin Blackmon has the ability to cover just about anyone, much less a small school receiver. Blackmon shut down receivers all night, defending two passes, and making one tackle. Blackmon has the size to make NFL teams fall in love, now we just need to see him put it together against blue-chip athletes.
