Warren attended the University of Utah and was a two-year starter under head coach Urban Meyer after playing at Grant Union High School . In his senior year , Warren played a key part in the Utah Utes offense , as they went 12-0 and became the first BCS non-AQ conference team to play in a Bowl Championship Series bowl game . Utah defeated the Big East Conference champion Pittsburgh Panthers 35-7 to become the 2005 Fiesta Bowl champions . Against Pittsburgh , Warren was part of a rare trick play called the hook-and-ladder , or hook and lateral , in which quarterback Alex Smith threw a short pass to wide out Steve Savoy who then lateraled the ball to Warren . Warren proceeded to carry the ball into the endzone from just inside the Panthers 20-yard line . Warren finished the game with a Fiesta Bowl-record 15 receptions and 198 yards . Warren 's 80 catches in a season in 2004-05 remains the Utah single season record
