In the first half of the Utah Utes matchup with Stanford, the offense experienced some adversity as they came up short on several drives. Facing a fourth and eight while in a 7-7 deadlock with Stanford, the Utes elected to go for it and called on Devaughn Vele to make a play.
Noticing that Vele was in a one-on-one situation with his defender, quarterback Cameron Rising lobbed a pass down the sideline in the direction of the sophomore receiver.
After juking the Cardinal defender with a stutter-step, Vele got the separation he needed, accelerated and then elevated to secure the pass down to the four yard line.
Following the catch, Utah would cash in on a short rush by Tavion Thomas and take a 14-7 lead.
At the half, Vele currently leads all Utah receivers with 61 yards and a touchdown on six catches.
