On the off chance that the Heart of Dallas Bowl comes down to a kick for Utah against West Virginia, the Utes will swing to some individual who entered this season with just a singular year of assistant school football, didn't comprehend what the Lou Groza Award was, yet strolled around with it fourteen days sooner.

Matt Gay experiences issues portraying what has spread out in the previous five months.

"It's been insane," he said. "I'm trying to comprehend the slant things."

Gay's Utes (6-6) require a triumph Tuesday to complete with a triumphant record for the fourth successive season.

West Virginia (7-5) beginning at now has done that, however the Mountaineers need to end a two-redirection losing mark that started when quarterback Will Grier — eighth in the Football Bowl Subdivision in passing yards per beguilement — was lost with a broken concentrate finger on his passing hand amidst the rule quarter against Texas.

Gay strolled around the past summer in the wake of playing soccer for Utah Valley and hardly lost the beginning work to new child on the piece Chayden Johnston. After Johnston's first endeavor went wide from 45 yards in Utah's opener, Gay was provoked, "You have the going with one."

Moreover, the development was his. Gay leads the FBS with 27 field objectives, missing just four endeavors. He has hit eight of no under 50 yards, changing over twice from 56.

Gay was surrendered a give in October, days after he was renamed physically as a lesser through a decision identified with taking a Mormon mission while at Utah Valley.

"I'd get a kick out of the chance to state I set him up," Utes control Kyle Whittingham said. He surrendered that Gay touched base with wonderful mechanics while working with a private mentor and Utah's staff "gave him a couple of clues all over the place."

"His approach on the ball is quick," Mountaineers manage Dana Holgorsen said. "I don't get a handle on what his range is. It's more connected than 56."

Three Mountaineers beneficiaries, including second-collect All-America David Sills, rank in the essential 30 in getting yardage. Sophomore Chris Chugunov acknowledged control for Grier and went 24 of 46 for 326 yards.

Unmistakable things to consider:

• Besides Grier, the Mountaineers will also be missing driving rusher Justin Crawford as the senior prepares for the NFL draft. Crawford had sequential 1,000-yard seasons with 11 mean touchdowns.

• Utah's sophomore quarterback, Tyler Huntley, missed the standard season finale (second shoulder mischief of the season) however is 100 percent, Whittingham said.
