Quarterback Jordan Wynn ran around the field acting like the freshman he is after leading Utah to a 22-10 win over Wyoming. He waved to the crowd, flashed the "U" sign and jumped on his teammates in celebration.
But in the huddle he was a different guy, showing the kind of poise the Utes need in their starting quarterback.
"The thing that surprised me and got me motivated was his confidence," center Zane Taylor said. "I was really impressed by that. I thought he might come out there a little nervous but he knew what to do and did a great job."
Whether or not Wynn did well enough to earn his first start against New Mexico won't officially be known publicly until kickoff because the Utes don't want to give the Lobos any assistance in their defensive plans.
However, the prevailing thought is now that Wynn has been given a chance to lead the Utes, he won't lose the opportunity to do so a second time.
