Saturday, November 10, 2018 Utah will debut new starting quarterback against Oregon By JOHN COON Associated Press SALT LAKE CITY — The big question facing Utah when it hosts Oregon is whether Jason Shelley can pick up where Tyler Huntley left off. Shelley, a redshirt fresh- man, will make his first career start Saturday against the Ducks in place of Hunt- ley, who broke his collarbone in the third quarter of Utah’s 38-20 loss last week to Ari- zona State. Shelley struggled after being thrown into action against the Sun Devils. He threw for 59 yards and an interception on 4-of-11 pass- ing. With a full week of tak- ing reps as a starter in prac- tice, and having the game plan adjusted to fit his individual strengths, Utah’s coaches are confident Shelley can pro- duce better results against the Ducks. Utah coach Kyle Whitting- ham said Shelley is similar to Huntley in his running and passing skill set. Whittingham said the freshman also brings a fearless attitude that will help the offense adjust to Shelley quicker. “One thing is he’s very calm under pressure,” Whit- tingham said. “Not that Tyler is not, but his demeanor is AP Photo/Rick Scuteri, File In this Nov. 3 file photo, Utah quarterback Jason Shel- ley (15) throws during an NCAA college game. DUCK FOOTBALL Oregon Ducks (6-3, 3-3) Utah Utes (6-3, 4-3) Saturday, 2:30 p.m., at Rice-Eccles Stadium, Salt Lake City, TV: PAC12 very even-keeled. He doesn’t panic and doesn’t press.” The Utes will need Shel- ley to adjust to his new role quickly after losing Zack Moss to a knee injury. Moss suffered the injury at prac- tice Wednesday and now will require season-ending surgery. It’s a big blow to the Utah offense. Moss ranks third in the Pac-12 in rushing yard- age with 1,092 yards. His 6.1 yards per carry are second-best among running backs in the league. Oregon expected Moss to be the top concern for its defense Saturday. Even with the Utes missing a pair of key playmakers, the Ducks don’t count on it making things go any smoother with Utah. “With Utah, which is a great football program, it starts and ends with their physical- ity on both sides of the ball,” Oregon coach Mario Cristobal said. “Up front, by the truck load, they have big powerful guys that set the tone for the game. That’s always been part of their identity.” The Ducks will give Utah’s defense plenty of things to worry about as well. Justin Herbert is one of the league’s better passers. He has thrown for 2,333 yards and 22 touchdowns while completing 59 percent of his passes. The junior lit up the Utes two years ago in a 30-28 win for Ore- gon in Salt Lake City, throw- ing for 324 yards and three touchdowns. Herbert’s top target, Dil- lon Mitchell, leads the Pac-12 with 833 yards and six touch- downs on 56 catches. Mitchell has tallied at least 500 yards more than any other Oregon receiver this season and has a league-best 735 receiving yards on 50 catches in Pac-12 play. “We’d like to spread it around more, but Dillon just does a great job of get- ting open,” Herbert said. “He runs great routes and is able to identify the coverage and adjust and do things that get him open.” Davey O’Brien semifi- nalist: Herbert was named one of 16 semifinalists for the Davey O’Brien Award. He and WSU quarterback Gard- ner Minshew are the only semifinalists from the Pac-12. Herbert made his 24th career start in Oregon’s 42-21 win over UCLA. Rypien leads Boise State past Fresno State BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Brett Rypien threw for 269 yards and Alexander Mat- tison rushed for 143 yards and a pair of touchdowns to lead Boise State to a 24-17 upset over No. 16 Fresno State on Friday night. Boise State (8-2, 5-1 Mountain West), which hasn’t lost to Fresno State at home since 1984, beat a ranked team for the first time in November in pro- gram history to keep its conference title aspirations alive. Fresno State (8-2, 5-1) entered the game as the nation’s No. 2 scoring defense and had only given up three touchdowns in con- ference play before facing the Broncos. Rypien, who became the Mountain West’s all- time passing leader in both yards and receptions, hit Khalil Shakir in stride on a 49-yard scoring strike with 9:22 remaining in the fourth quarter to give the Broncos a 24-17 lead. The Broncos held Fresno State on its final two drives before running out the clock to secure the victory. Leading 10-3 at half- time, Fresno State appeared to take control of the game by driving 75 yards on the opening possession of the second half and scoring on a 1-yard run by Ronnie Rivers for a 17-3 advantage. COLLEGE FOOTBALL Boise St. Fresno St. 24 17 But Boise State stormed back, scoring on consecu- tive possessions on a pair of short runs by Mattison to knot the score at 17. Drew Nash/The Times-News via AP Boise State running back Alexander Mattison carries the ball against Fresno State on Friday night.
