This week’s Air Force game is very important. The winner of this game still has a chance to take the conference title. The loser will be 0-2 in the conference and pretty much nearly impossible to win it. The Utes MUST win this game.
Air Force is always tough to defend, and this year they’re passing a little bit more. It will be an interesting game. See you there…
GO UTES!
Unfortunately I wasn’t able to watch a ton of this game. I missed some completely and listened to much of it on the radio. It sounds to me like we were a little conservative on offense, and a bit porous on defense.
We ran the ball 80% of the time on 2nd down. The problem is that we didn’t get much on first down so we were calling running plays with 2nd and long? Sounds like a passing situation to me.
In the overtime there was an illegal pick which allowed TCU to score a TD to win the game. Too bad for the Utes. But if we’d held onto our 17-7 lead to begin with, that wouldn’t have happened.
TCU is apparently a condender in it’s new conference.
Ok, so we got the first road game and first loss under our belts. Lesson learned. We don’t have to worry about our 18 game winning streak any more. Lesson learned. Now lets go and play some great football the rest of the season.
GO UTES!
End zone shot during 4th quarter
Ganther plows his way into the end zone for a touchdown!
1. Our kicking game stinks. We’ve kicked kickoffs out of bounds, shanked punts, had field goals blocked, missed field goals… Why is this so hard? Even in the Urban days our kicking was not good.
Memo to coach: Go over to the soccer team and find a kicker…
Boy there was sure a fall chill in the air at the game. It was quite chilly in my seats by the portal. This was not the greatest game of football I’ve ever seen, but it was a victory.
The first quarter was terrible and the 2nd not much better. Ganther busted out on about an 85 yard run for a TD, but it was called back due to a penalty. Then in the next offensive series we drove down and fumbled it away on their 20 yard line…
The good news was that after going down 0-7, we scored 31 unanswered points.
