Two Utah players were named Mountain West Conference football players of the week Monday for their efforts in last Saturday’s 22-10 win over Wyoming.
Junior running back Eddie Wide won the offensive honor with a career-high 135 yards and a touchdown. Senior defensive end Koa Misi earned the defensive award with eight tackles, seven of which were solo stops. Six of his tackles and two sacks came in the second half.
Misi was one of the more underrated players from that game.
