Local QB Leads Utes to Poinsettia Bowl Victory

Utah beats Cal 37-27

Oceanside alum Jordan Wynn threw for a career-high 338 yards and three touchdowns to rally No. 23 Utah from an early two-touchdown deficit to a 37-27 victory over California in the Poinsettia Bowl on Wednesday night.

The Utes scored 27 straight points to win their ninth straight bowl game, the longest current streak in the country. The Golden Bears, in a bowl game for the school-record seventh straight year, had their four-game postseason winning streak snapped.

Wynn, a true freshman, improved to 3-0 at Qualcomm Stadium, including two section championships while the starter at Oceanside High. He graduated last December and enrolled at Utah in January, allowing him to participate in spring ball.

Wynn completed 26 of 36 passes and improved to 3-2 as the Utes' starter.
