Ute Sports

 The Utes picked up a pair of weekly awards from the Mountain West Conference today.

 Utah running back Eddie Wide is the MWC Offensive Player of the Week after he ran for a career-high 135 yards and a touchdown on 24 carries Saturday against Wyoming. He averaged 5.6 yards a game and tied the school record with his fifth 100-yard rushing effort.

 The others who had five consecutive games are Carl Monroe, 1982; Mike Anderson, 1998 and Darrell Mack, 2007.

 Defender Koa Misi had eight tackles and two sacks in the win to earn the Defensive Player of the Week honors. He made six of his tackles and both sacks in the second half when the Utes held the Cowboys to 74 yards.

 Wide is now second in the conference behind BYU's Harvey Unga in rushing yards with 664 yards in eight games for the season. Unga has 698 yards in seven games.

 Wide has a very good chance of setting the school record for most consecutive 100 yard games on Saturday against New Mexico since the Lobos are next to last in the league in rushing defense, giving up 161.1 yards.

 San Diego State punter Brian Stahovich is the Special Teams Player of the Week.
