Official UofU homer thread

ugh, i normally would be pretty happy, we played fairly well, held washington to just 385 yards, joe williams did his thing again... but the way that went down just gave me a sickening feeling.

Very very good showing by the utes. Super impressed. Washington is for real and the utes gave them everything they could handle and then some.
Utes got screwed pretty hard by the refs on the Washington punt return td. Three blocks in the back. Two of them blatant easy calls and all three affected the return

Someone needs to be fired!! I can understand missing one block in the back, or even one at the beginning and one later in the play, but my god!! There were three in a row and all in the path of the runner. That says to me the refs weren't even paying attention!!

This. Horrible pass. I have a small problem with him going for the td rather than the first down.... But not a real bad decision. But ya, just a horrible pass out of the back of the end zone.

Couple things.

1. If your going to do that play at the end don't throw a bullet.

2. With everyone deep, it looked to me like Williams could've possibly ran for a first as he leaked out toward the side out of the way of the path of the lines.
 
As annoyed as I was that there wasn't a flag for any one of those 3 blocks in the back (especially considering they call the U offensive line a few times and special teams 1x), the U committed too many mistakes. The dropped pass just before the punt is an obvious one, Moeai not getting out of bounds on the drive to end the first half, the numerous false starts by the OLine (I've never seen an OLine where only getting 3 is a good day) Bolles missing a block on a the LB that would've sprang Joe and then he mentally whiffed on pass protection that let a DE go unevaded to Troy and missed tackles weren't as bad as UCLA but still not a clean enough tackling game to beat a team like Washington. I won't even get into the LB play, even less than average would be an upgrade at this point.

As a Utah fan I felt the game ended on the drop coming out of the end zone. Yea they missed some calls on blocks in the back. But Washington was going to have the ball on the Utes side of the field with plenty of time and all they needed was a FG. All scoring that quickly really did is give the Utes a chance.
.
The Pac 12 officials are worse than Utah high school officials. I watched some high school football this week and they were far better than officials for the Pac 12.
 
That pooch punt from Browning was a huge play, pinning us deep killed our momentum there and than that drop on 3rd was gut wrenching which led Wishnowsky to have to punt it quicker than normal.

Hate bitching about no calls but there was at least 2 but probably 3 blocks in the back on the punt return TD.

I still can't talk about this game. All I can say is that I want another shot at UW so bad, I can barely stand it.

Well, I pretty right about Joe Williams.
 
If Utah wins out, they're in the Rose Bowl. Regardless of what happens in the PAC-12 Championship Game.

Washington will win out.

Utah vs. Washington means...

Washington Wins, they go to the CFP, which means Utah goes to the Rose Bowl in their stead.

Utah wins, we win the PAC-12 Championship. We won't make the CFP, but we'll still be in the Rose Bowl as the PAC-12 Champs.

OUR DESTINY IS IN OUR HANDS! WE CAN MAKE THE ROSE BOWL!!!! Woot!

Only if Washington wins out. They could lose to USC or WSU. If Wash loses, Utah might have to win the PAC-12 to go to the Rose Bowl.

So how mad are PAC12 fans that A&M ranked ahead of Washington?

No one cares. The committee always throws a "talking ranking" out there to drive discussion. If Washington wins out, they are in. If Alabama wins out, and A&M doesn't win the SEC, they will drop.

Only the simplest of minds would think this is anything of any sort of noteworthy news. In fact, most predicted this would happen before the poll came out.
 
watching the replay of the uw game - i can do without another game with multiple false starts/snap infractions. this **** is getting old

how can our execution in the passing game be this poor in week 8/9 whatever it is and it's not always on the qb, we make simple passes more difficult than they should be

myles gaskin is a tough dude to take down, that spin move is deadly, ask chase hansen
 
I'm not overly worried about Colorado this year. They are the same team they were last year. They were 4-9 last year. Last year, they were 2-7 in games decided by a TD and 2 pt conversion or less.

They were "young" last year.

This year, they lucked out that Oregon and Stanford suck, and miss Washington and Cal from the North. They aren't much better than they were last year. They are a little more experienced, and had some balls bounce their way, didn't have to face Rosen, Oregon sucked, Stanford is a shell of their former selves, and have stayed extremely healthy overall. They should have been 6-6 last year, and they should end up this year 7-5. They were unlucky last year and a little luckier this year. They could easily be 4-5 right now.

They could beat us in November. They always almost beat us. But, they won't. This is the same Colorado team we've seen all along. Just a little more experienced.

Also, remember how injured we've been. Next week, we will have Marcus Williams, Handley, Buter-Byrd back. They did not play vs Washington. If Moss is anywhere near healthy and can get 10 carries, Patrick and Butler-Byrd are healthy and Marcus Williams plays, we will win out. We are just too good. If we had been as healthy as Washington or Colorado, we'd be undefeated right now.

We are a damn good team. Every year there are 15-20 amazingly good teams that can beat anyone at anytime. We are one of those teams this year. What is the difference between being a top 5 team and a top 15 team? Luck. Being healthy, having a team down when you play them, having your OOC be a little weaker.

We haven't been lucky this year, which is too bad. The good news is, we return a ton of starters, and a lot of next year's starters have played a ton due to injuries this year.

What Whitt has built here is extraordinary.
