SAN FRANCISCO-Because of their contributions in helping Utah upset Colorado Saturday, a pair of Utes football standouts received recognition from the Pac-12 Monday.
Freshman tailback Ty Jordan and sophomore placekicker Jadon Redding were named as the conference’s freshman and special teams player of the week respectively.
In the Utes’ 38-15 rout of then-No. 21 Colorado at Boulder, Colo., Jordan ran for 147 yards (8.6 yards per carry) and two scores against the Buffaloes.
Jordan, a native of Mesquite, Texas, ranks eighth in the FBS and first in the Pac-12 in yards per carry (7.3) and ranks 15th in the subdivision in rushing yards per contest (110.8 yards per game).
Saturday, Redding symmetrically scored 12 points for the second consecutive week, netting three field goals and three PATs against the Buffaloes.
Redding is a native of Fredericksburg, Va.
