No. 13 Utah has quite a QB tandem with Devon Dampier and running true freshman Byrd Fiicklin
Dampier, the banged-up dual-threat junior, and true freshman Ficklin have become close friends and quite a QB tandem for the 13th-ranked Utes (8-2, 5-2, No. 13 CFP), who still have hope of getting into the Big 12 championship game, and maybe the College Football Playoff. They were up two spots Sunday in the latest Associated Press poll.
The Cowboys (373) gained nearly 100 more yards than the Wildcats (284) and they finished the afternoon with a postgame win expectancy of 52.8%, according to ESPN college football statistician Bill Connelly.

Utah CB Scooby Davis will miss first half of Kansas State game after fight in win at Baylor
Davis had a pick-six to jump start the Utes in win at Baylor, but was also involved in a fight near the end of the game
Reynolds returned the pick 31 yards to the Baylor 9, setting up a touchdown that gave Utah a 49-20 lead. The Utes also made a fourth-down stop late in the third quarter — one of three turnovers on downs for Baylor — that also led to a Utah touchdown to give the Utes a 22-point lead.
With a defender standing in his way, freshman quarterback Byrd Ficklin simply brushed him away with a stiff arm en route to a 74-yard rushing touchdown.
Any scenario for the Utes to make the Big 12 championship game is a long shot, but the most plausible scenario for the Utes to go to Arlington is if Cincinnati beats BYU, the Bearcats lose only one of their remaining games (vs. Arizona or at TCU), Texas Tech wins out and a few games featuring Arizona State and Houston break the Utes’ way.
