LAS VEGAS — Utah football ended its 2025 campaign on a high note with a 44-22 victory over the Nebraska Cornhuskers in the Las Vegas Bowl.
After shaking off the rust of a month-long layoff, the Utes caught their stride and scored six touchdowns at Allegiant Stadium.
Looking Back At Every Utah Utes TD In Las Vegas
The first quarter saw just about the only adversity for Utah all day. The Cornhuskers found the end zone on each of their first two drives.
In between those scores, Devon Dampier got across the plane for the Utes’ first points.

After a Nebraska three-and-out to open the second quarter, the Utah offense got right back to work.
After nine plays and 74 yards, Dampier found JJ Buchanan in traffic for the first TD through the air.

The next three drives saw two more three-and-outs for the Cornhuskers and a Utah field goal.
Just before the end of the half, Dampier called his own number once again for his second rushing score.

That trend continued into the second half.
The first two Nebraska drives stalled out before they could move the chains, while the Utes continued to pile it on.
It started with a NaQuari Rogers score, the first and only TD that didn’t come from Dampier.

Less than five minutes of game time later, the Utes found their way back into the end zone.
Dampier capped off a 9-play drive with his legs, making it three TDs on the ground for the QB.

After two quarters of revolving door defense from the Cornhuskers, they finally were able to piece together some stops late in the third and early in the fourth.
But they couldn’t stop Utah forever.
With about eight minutes left in regulation, Dampier found Bentley once again for the Utes’ final touchdown of the season.
