SC alum here, I posted earlier this week that I thought it would be a 27-23 game either way, and it turns out that was pretty close.
This matchup has become a real dandy. If I remember correctly, the home team has now won 5 in a row, and 3 of the last 4 have come down to basically the last play of the game. I am not looking forward to the return trip to SLC next season.
The Utes are a bitch to play, and that one truly could have gone either way. I loved Kyle's call to go for two, and his analysis of it being the "percentage play" was spot on. Darnold was on fire - the kid practically had NBA Jam flames shooting out of his *** - and our run game was rolling in the 4th quarter. We were really fortunate Carrington didn't get the ball thrown his way.
It is not lost on us that Troy Williams is squarely the backup, and if Huntley plays, we probably lose. On the other side of the coin, if Darnold doesn't fumble three times in the first half, we may have had a 7-10 point cushion. This was one of those games that could have broken either way, and we were very fortunate.
