FORT COLLINS, Colo.(AP) -- Terrance Cain threw an 8-yard touchdown pass to Eddie Wide with 3:40 left in the game as Utah overcame a 14-point deficit to defeat Colorado State 24-17 under freezing temperatures Saturday night.
Cain threw touchdown passes of 8 and 47 yards. Robert Johnson had a career high three interceptions, two that led to second-half touchdowns for Utah (4-1 overall, 1-0 Mountain West).
Eddie Wide caught a touchdown pass and added a rushing score.
The temperature was 25 degrees at kickoff.
Leonard Mason ran for a career-high 130 yards. Grant Stucker had a touchdown pass, but was intercepted three times.
Utah has beaten Colorado State (3-3, 0-2) four straight times. The Utes' last loss to the Rams came Oct. 8, 2005, in Fort Collins when Colorado made a goal-line stand to hold on to win 21-17.
