The University of Utah Utes defeated the University of Colorado Buffaloes with a score of 23-17, concluding the Buffaloes' final season in the Pac-12 with a 4-8 record. Utah finished the regular season with an 8-4 record and secured a spot in a bowl game, likely in Vegas or El Paso. Colorado ended the season with a six-game losing streak, marking a disappointing finish after a promising start. Coach Prime's first season with the Buffaloes ended with unconventional style and scrutiny. The Buffaloes' collapse was evident, with a 3-0 start and a 1-8 finish, leaving them in last place in the conference. Utah, on the other hand, achieved its fifth consecutive season of 8+ wins (excluding 2020).
