For Shaky Smithson, his first season at Utah up until Saturday had been, well, shaky.

Utah quarterback Jordan Wynn looked every bit the true freshman he is against TCU's ferocious defense last week.

The Utah football team put together its best offensive half of the season Saturday against San Diego State in racing to a 38-0 halftime lead at Rice-Eccles Stadium.

Quarterback Andy Dalton and TCU look to stay undefeated and keep their BCS hopes alive with a home matchup against No.

UTAH VS. TEXAS CHRISTIAN WHEN: 4:30 p.m. today WHERE: Amon Carter Stadium, Fort Worth, Texas TV/RADIO: CBSC , KBAD-AM LINE: TCU -191/2; total 461/2 Texas Christian running back Ryan Christian celebrates his 44-yard touchdown reception in the Horned Frogs' 55-12 victory over San Diego State on Nov.

With TCU expecting its first sellout since 2006, the Utah Utes know they'll be playing in a hostile atmosphere Saturday in Fort Worth, Texas .

The scenes are still vivid in the minds of TCU players and coaches - Utah fans storming the field to celebrate a thrilling comeback, the tears in the locker room and the deadly silent flight home.

He's not in the Avocado League anymore. Only a year removed from high school, Utah quarterback Jordan Wynn will experience an entirely different level of football Saturday night when the Utes visit unbeaten Texas Christian, featuring one of the country's best defenses.

Even the biggest waves crash into sand and disintegrate into nothingness, the hardest hit baseballs give in to gravity and the fastest runners reach a point where their fast-twitch muscles can't twitch any faster.

No. 16 Utah blew open a 17-7 halftime lead with three third-quarter touchdowns en route to a 45-14 shellacking of New Mexico Saturday at Salt Lake City.

The University of Utah Utes crushed the New Mexico Lobos yesterday at Rice Eccles Stadium, 45-14. The Utes' record is now 8-1, while New Mexico has dropped to 9-0. Freshman Ute quarterback Jordan Wynn got his first start, and the Utes' offense looked good after a somewhat shaky first quarter.

Utah coach Kyle Whittingham wasn't concerned that his team would look past winless New Mexico and ahead to Saturday's showdown at undefeated TCU.

Freshman Jordan Wynn passed for 82 yards and a touchdown in his college debut, replacing starter Terrance Cain in the second half and rallying the 19th-ranked Utes to a 22-10 win over Wyoming on Saturday.

The University of Utah celebrated homecoming Saturday night. Brent Guy came home, too.

Terrance Cain threw for two touchdowns and Eddie Wide ran for 129 yards to help Utah cruise to a 30-14 win over Louisville on Saturday night.

It's time for a reality check for Utah and BYU faithful. Despite being in the deep pit where disappointment, frustration, a little anger and emotional bankruptcy dwell, fans should remember it is far worse for the players.
