Dampier’s Game-Winner Keeps Utah Undefeated, Fuels Heisman Bid
Utah quarterback Devon Dampier strengthened his Heisman Trophy case by leading the undefeated Utes to a 40-39 comeback win over Arizona, including a 75-yard touchdown pass to Creed Whittemore with less than three minutes left. The senior threw for 204 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 100 yards and two more scores, helping Utah improve to 10-0 after a clutch performance against BYU the week before. His recent play has moved him into the national Heisman conversation, though his odds have varied and his candidacy will depend in part on Utah continuing to win. Dampier has also emphasized that the recognition reflects the contributions of his teammates and fans, while his season has included setbacks such as a two-interception game against Houston.
