For the second consecutive week, a Utah defender was named Pac-12 Player of the Week.

Gionni Paul recovered a fumble in the fourth quarter, then recorded a game-clinching pick with just three minutes left on the clock. The senior linebacker also added seven tackles. Last week, Paul's teammate Justin Thomas took home the honors vs. Michigan.
