This loss is on Whittingham. If he would have gone about the business of calling plays instead of bitching at the refs the last few seconds they would have won. He would have been better off taking the delay of game than trying to rush that last play.

That said, they got away with the block in the back play on that last punt return that even gave them the possibility of winning.

Regardless of bad play calls or bad ref calls, Utah should have won with that roll out to the TE. He just dropped it.
 
Good game, utah had a great chance to win and is probably the better team at the end of the day.
Heartbreaker

Utah fan attempts to make themselves feel better... did it work?

I'm byu fan.
I was just giving my honest opinion of what I saw.

I felt utah was the better team. I have seen better teams lose to worse teams before. Upsets actually do happen on occasion. I think this one of those times.

Having said that, cal is a pretty good team with a great passing game.

It was a pretty cool matchup of different styles. Utes running game was really hard for cal to stop. Cal had too many big pass plays.

Tough way to lose. Utah definitely had their chances to win. At least I have Ben Dowsett's twitter feed to crack me up. That guy is the real life Radio Ethan.

Yeah, the refs botched it, not Utah's TE dropping an easy touchdown pass.

I think you're reading my post wrong. I wasn't making excuses for Utah. That's why I also pointed out how the refs botched the call on the punt horribly, which benefitted Utah.

After the PI call that gave the utes the ball first and goal from the two, I thought it was about a 90% probability that the utes would win the game.
Great goal line stand by cal on a couple of those runs, but like cy said, if the ute player just catches that pass out to the right then the utes win.

Placing blame on refs is pretty clearly an excuse. Even if you didn't come out and say "I think this game was the refs fault" you are insinuating it by pointing out their mistakes instead of what Utah did to lose the game.
 
I don't want to re-watch it but I'm not so sure the TE gets in even if he caught it, there was a defender pretty close.

Tough loss, I don't know if it gets any tougher than that. We had a really good chance to win and we couldn't finish. ouch.

Going back, if we had converted the 2 pt conversion we could have just kicked the field goal and gone to OT and who knows.Instead we go to my least favorite play - the fade route which rarely works.
That play call just really bugged me, win or lose.

So according to Whittingham he was yelling at the ref to look at him for a timeout if after the play the clock is running and according to him the ref just called the timeout

Maybe the ref misheard him, I'm not entirely sure but just run the damn play and if you need a timeout than run on the field and yell at them if you have to.

The whole thing was just odd.

fumble or no, as i understand it it is incomplete if his arm is going forward while the qb maintains possession. what say u?

I remember during the game one of the commentators saying that if the qb is losing control before forward motion but the ball is still in possession during forward motion it's supposed to be a fumble. He was at least losing controle before forward motion.
