Wayshawn Parker - Logs 100 all-purpose yards Parker totaled 16 rushes for 50 yards and reeled in 3 of 4 targets for 53 yards during Wednesday's 44-22 win versus Nebraska.

Impact In each of Utah's last six games, Parker logged more than 100 all-purpose yards. Despite a relatively disappointing output from the backfield, he updated his season-highs in receptions and receiving yards Wednesday. Out wide, he logged 13 catches (on 16 targets) for 185 yards (14.2 averaged per reception) and three touchdowns.

Devon Dampier - Career game during bowl Dampier completed 19 of 31 passes for 310 yards and two touchdowns during Wednesday's 44-22 win over Nebraska. He also had 19 rushes for 148 yards with three touchdowns.

Impact For the 2025 Utes, two of their games saw Dampier log five touchdowns, the first instance coming Week 5 at West Virginia. Unlike then, when Dampier recorded one interception and two fumbles, his recent ball protection was flawless. Moving from mid-major New Mexico to Power Conference stalwart Utah required a significant adjustment that Dampier acclimated to well. Despite his rushing number taking a dip, he still logged 146 rushing attempts for 835 yards and 10 touchdowns. Dampier improved in the pocket, with a career best 63.5 completion percentage and 24 passing TDs.
