Dalton Kincaid Scores First Career Touchdown, Shades USC

The former Utah star tight end made his first career touchdown grab, and also made sure to shoutout his alma mater on Thursday
In this story:

On Thursday night against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Buffalo Bills rookie tight end Dalton Kincaid was able to haul in his first career touchdown pass.

Josh Allen rolled out of the pocket and connected with the former Utah star tight end for a 22-yard touchdown late in the second quarter. Not only did the score give them the lead, but was a momentous moment for the first-round pick.

He finished the day with five receptions for 65 yards, and his Bills won by a score of 24-16. After the game when he was being interviewed by ESPN's Scott Van Pelt about his performance, the two also talked about the Utes. Kincaid and Van Pelt dove into the Oregon game a little, but the tight end also made sure to get in a fun jab at USC following the Utes beating them for the fourth-straight time. 

“My Utes are coming off a big win. That’s four in a row over that school in California,” Kincaid said. “I was stoked watching that one. That was awesome.”

Kincaid who is on-site for this weekend's matchup will surely be treated to a good one between No. 8 Oregon and his No. 13 Utes. According to ESPN, the Ducks are 6.5-point favorites. A loss for either team will knock them out of both the Pac-12 title race and more importantly; the College Football Playoff race.
