The Utes won their home opener, beating rival Utah State for the 12th consecutive time, extending their winning streak to a best-in-the-nation 15 games including games from the 2008 and 2007 seasons. This was the first game for former Utah defensive coordinator, and new Utah State head coach, Gary Andersen. Junior college transfer Terrance Cain won in his debut at quarterback for the Utes, completing 20 of 30 attempts for 286 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception, while running back Matt Asiata ran for a career-best 156 yards and two touchdowns and David Reed caught 10 passes for 172 yards. Utah State managed to force three turnovers, and running back Robert Turbin set a school record with a 96-yard touchdown run that accounted for nearly a third of the Aggies' offensive total for the game.[3] [8]
