Hmmm.. The Utes fell to UCLA, which isn’t a big surprise. I was out of town and TIVO’d the game so I have yet to see what this QB story is. Apparently Whit pulled Ratliff. More to come and welcome back me.

Emerald Bowl Champs!
Talk about a surprising game! Our Utes were 9 point underdogs to the #24 Georgia Tech team, but we blew them out of the stadium 38-10.
Bret Ratliff piloted the offense to 550 yards and 38 points against what was supposed to be a “great” GT defense. That 38 point score should have easily been 3 touchdowns better but we made some bad plays and play calling in the red zone.
Travis LaTendresse burned the GT defense with 4 TD’s mostly on post patterns. Quinton Ganther rushed for a solid 120 yards with a nice break away TD run of 41 yards.
Defensively the Utes were great, shutting down GT completely in the 2nd half.
I question some of the play calling. The times we should have scored but turned the ball over we were running some strange trick plays, rather than just playing straight ahead football.
Overall it was a stellar performance on both sides of the ball. Well done.
2006 will certainly be an interesting year as Ratliff has proven himself to be a great QB and a winner. It will be fun to watch.

Triple overtime loss to Rice
I set my DVR to record the Rice game because I was going to be out running some important errands all day. When I got back to watch the game I found out that CSTV (the channel the game was on) is not in my programming package. What a bummer.
The Utes were down by 4 with just a few seconds left in regulation and somehow extended it to 3 overtimes.
Sounds like our defense might have been an issue in this loss.
Man has this team been in a lot of amazing situations for how early the season is.
