SALT LAKE CITY -- Travis Wilson weaved his way through the sea of red, torn between retreating to the locker room and celebrating this signature win with the Utah faithful that had stormed the field. Like he really had a choice, especially after the enthusiastic crowd lifted him up. Thats what happens after a quarterback helps orchestrate the biggest upset at home in school history and the most significant victory the Utah has had since moving to the Pac-12 three years. The Utes made a goal-line stand in the final minute and Wilson threw two TD passes in a 27-21 victory against No. 5 Stanford on Saturday. It was the first time in school history the Utes (4-2, 1-2 Pac-12) have knocked off a top-five program at Rice-Eccles Stadium. They beat No. 4 Alabama in the Sugar Bowl following the 2008 season. "Great win," Wilson simply said. "Our plan was perfect tonight." Not surprisingly, the fans rushed the field after the final gun. The ring leader? Defensive end Trevor Reilly. "I was waving them on, saying, Lets go!" Reilly said. "We came through tonight." The defence certainly did. Kevin Hogan marched the Cardinal down to the 6 with a minute remaining. On third down, he threw an incomplete pass to Charlie Hopkins. Then, on fourth down, amid heavy pressure, Hogan overthrew Devon Cajuste. The Utes took a knee twice to end the game, along with the 13-game winning streak of Stanford (5-1, 3-1). "Theyre good. Theyve always been good and we just werent good enough," Stanford coach David Shaw said. "This is as well as Ive seen Utah play on the offensive side. They really strung things together." Utah kept Stanfords stingy defence off balance all day with a mix of draws and wide receiver screens. Dres Anderson caught a 51-yard TD pass and scored another on a short run. Bubba Poole finished with 111 yards rushing and had another 75 on seven catches. Ty Montgomery returned a kickoff for a touchdown for a second straight week. This time, Montgomery took the ball a few steps deep in the end zone and darted through the Utes before going 100 yards, tying a Stanford record. Cajuste made a diving catch on a fade route to trim the Utah lead to 27-21 with 9:22 remaining, but the Cardinal couldnt complete the comeback. "It seems to be that our thing as a team this year is toughness," Reilly said. "I think that was personified there on the last stand." A week after throwing six interceptions, Wilson showed more poise in the pocket. His only mistake was on a screen, when his pass was tipped and picked off by Joe Hemschoot. Wilson finished 23 of 34 for 234 yards. He cut his throwing hand on a hard tackle early in the third quarter, continuously wiping the top of it on his towel. But the injury didnt seem to affect his touch. Neither did those interceptions. "Hes a resilient kid. Tough as nails," coach Kyle Whittingham said. "We had a feeling he was going to come back and play like he did tonight. Bottom line, he bounced back. Hes got a lot of competitive spirit." Utah showed its spunk, bouncing back from a close loss last week to UCLA. "We werent able to make the plays (last week)," Whittingham said. "The difference tonight, we were able to make those plays." Stanford struggled on offence in the second half, turning the ball over twice on fumbles with Reilly recovering both. The Utes turned those into field goals by Andy Phillips. Phillips, a former U.S. ski team member, is 11 for 11 this season. Kevin Hogan dropped to 10-1 as a starter. It was a week filled with controversy for Stanford after Washington coach Steve Sarkisian accused the Cardinal of faking injuries to slow down the tempo, leaving Stanfords David Shaw to vigorously defend his program. That wasnt an issue. Stopping Utah in the first half was. Utah went on a season-long 99-yard drive in the second quarter, culminating with Andersons 3-yard score on an end-around. It gave Utah a 21-14 at halftime. It was a day of firsts for the Stanford defence, which hadnt allowed an opening quarter TD all season until Saturday. Karl Williams scored on a 4-yard pass from Wilson on Utahs opening drive and Anderson later hauled in a 51-yard pass from Wilson. It was Andersons fifth play of 50 or more yards this season. Montgomery joins Bob Bryan (1950 against San Francisco) and Damon Dunn (1994 at Arizona State) with 100-yard kickoff returns for Stanford. Last week, Montgomery had a 99-yard TD return to open the game against Washington. Montgomery finished with three returns for 160 yards against Utah. "Utah played their hearts out," Montgomery said.

Peter Boulware Jersey . -- Jerome Williams glanced at Philadelphias schedule and realized he would be facing the Oakland Athletics yet again, with another new team.Each week, TSN.ca takes a look at the top available players in fantasy football ahead of the weekly waiver deadline. Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez, Philadelphia Eagles (vs. Panthers) Last Week: 15/22, 202 yards, 2 TDs, 2 INTs Sanchez had his familiar two picks replacing the injured Nick Foles in Week 9 but that masked an otherwise very strong performance. Sanchez could be behind centre for the rest of the season in an explosive offence. Foles hadn’t looked great, or even really good, the entire season and was still putting up relatively decent numbers. Preseason reports suggested Sanchez looked better than Foles so there’s a chance he can improve upon Foles’ QB2 numbers. Mike Glennon, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (vs. Falcons) Last Week: 17/33, 260 yards, 2 TDs, 2 INTs Glennon had another strong week for the Buccaneers, scoring nearly 20 fantasy points in a loss to the Browns. Save for two games, Glennon has put up high-end QB2 numbers. He’s still going to put up a dud from week to week, but he’s shown it’s more likely he’ll give you a solid spot-start. They shouldn’t, but the Bucs could go back to Josh McCown at any time if the team doesn’t start winning. My super sleeper of the week is Ryan Mallett. He won’t help you for Week 10 when the Texans are on a bye, but there’s a chance the fourth-year QB emerges as Houston’s starter in Week 11. Beat the rush if you’re desperate. Running Backs Bobby Rainey, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (vs. Falcons) Last Week: 19 carries, 87 yards; 1 reception, 34 yards Despite all the Charles Sims hype, Rainey was given the start for the Buccaneers in Week 9 and did was he does when given the opportunity: he produced. This likely won’t last long, the Bucs will go to Sims or Doug Martin will get healthy, but enjoy Rainey – a talented and productive back – while you can. Matt Asiata, Minnesota Vikings (Bye) Last Week: 10 carries, 26 yards, 3 TDs Jerick McKinnon remains the starter and the better bet for carries in Minnesota, but Asiata may prove morre useful as the third down and goal line back.dddddddddddd I can’t say to not expect another three TD performance from Asiata because he has two under his belt now this season, but definitely bid with caution: the running back situation in Minnesota is both very fluid and very mediocre. Terrence West, Cleveland Browns (at Bengals) Last Week: 15 carries, 48 yards; 1 reception, 2 yards, 1 TD Cleveland’s running back situation is similar to Minnesota’s in that is seems to change every week but if you need a starting RB, West appears to be the guy to grab, at least for Week 10. Head coach Mike Pettine said West deserved the touches he got – more than Ben Tate and Isaiah Crowell – and should continue to lead the Browns’ backfield but especially with Alex Mack out, that doesn’t mean a lot of points should be expected. Wide Receivers Jarvis Landry, Miami Dolphins (at Lions) Last Week: 5 receptions (6 targets), 46 yards, 1 TD The rookie receiver has appeared to have moved to No. 2 on the depth chart in Miami behind Mike Wallace which wouldn’t be a huge deal in fantasy circles expect for the recent surge of Ryan Tannehill and the Dolphins. Miami’s offence has been opening a lot of eyes over the past 3-4 weeks and if they keep it up, Landry could be in line for some decent production. Jordan Matthews’ situation is similar to Landry’s. The Eagles’ rookie hasn’t yet ascended to No. 2 on the depth chart in Philly, but he should soon surpass Riley Cooper and join the strong offence on a starting basis. Tight Ends Mychal Rivera, Oakland Raiders (vs. Broncos) Last Week: 8 receptions (11 targets), 38 yards, 2 TDs Rivera is an extreme boom or bust candidate with a lot more bust than boom potential, but if you’re scrounging for TEs on the waiver wire, he may be the best option. Rivera has received enough targets the past two weeks to make him a decent play, but he’s not a game breaker unless he can continue to grab two touchdowns a game, which of course is unlikely. ' ' '
