SALT LAKE CITY – After a standout performance in Utah’s season opener against UCLA, quarterback Devon Dampier received high praise on “The Pat McAfee Show.” McAfee highlighted Dampier’s exciting style of play and the Utes‘ dominance, noting how they controlled the game.

During the show, in a segment titled ‘You (Probably) Slept On,’ McAfee stated, “Devon Dampier is an absolute problem. He seems unstoppable and electrifying. Watching him was a scary sight.” His comments came after Dampier’s impressive debut allowed the Utes to take control of the match.

The Utes executed a remarkable 21-play drive in the third quarter, lasting nearly 10 minutes. This methodical drive confirmed their powerful team dynamics.
