The score may have been close, but as G Monson said, we had a new inexperienced qb, rb, oc, o line, cb's, playing on the road in front of 63k. If they aren't going to beat us last night, when?
P.s. we were not good enough last night to win many Pac 12 games. USC and uw both look playoff worthy.
P.p.s, the pick call on Wilson was wrong, right? Their db covered him instead of Carrington and got bailed out???

So I said to David Eckstein, "You promised me, Eckstein, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life, there have only been one set of prints in the sand. Why, when I have needed you most, have you not been there for me?" David Eckstein replied, "Because my little legs had gotten tired, and you were carrying me." And I looked down and saw that I was still carrying David Eckstein.

That would be my guess as well.
So, how great was Huntley last night? I was worried about decision making from a freshman on the road, but he made great choices all night long. He threw it away a few times when he needed to throw it away. He found receivers while scrambling. He turned bad/dropped snapped into positive plays. Very impressive. I was vocal about my skepticism when he was announced as the starter. Looks like I was wrong.
I'll say it.
One day Utah will have that special season and having BYU as our "A" game on our OOC schedule is going to hurt us. I get that Utah has to play nice with the Utah legislature, but BYU is not an "A" level opponent. It's an "A" level game in emotion only. In the past 5 years, BYU is 11-16 against the P5. One of those 11 victories was against a team that finished with a winning record.
BYU is barely a "B" level type opponent.

On the low snaps, Huntley said on the radio last night that Lo's hand was "swollen". I don't know what happened or how.
He said they wrapped it up at half and that fixed things for the second half.

I had a similar thought last night. Next year is a long way off and tons can change, but based on what we know today I love Utah's chances to make it eight at RES next year. Losing Carrington will hurt but I think Utah finally has the coaching to recruit and develop WRs. Aside from that Utah loses one good OL and two TEs who they don't have much use for and the rest of the offense returns intact. After seeing how Huntley tore them a new one last night Kalani and Tuiaki are going to wake up in a cold sweat all off-season over the prospect of having to face him at RES with that much more experience and, most likely, a better OL and running back situation. Defensively Utah loses some really good DL but that pipeline is stocked as always. As long as Utah can find some competent LB play (Donovan Thompson got some good run last night) then the D will be as good as always.
Sorry about the long rant, but as I said above, unless BYU can find some dramatically better skill players fast then eight in a row looks like a very strong proposition.
An admission.

I need some clarification. I believe Wilson was the receiver ruled out of bounds on the TD catch. It is my understanding that one foot in-bounds is enough in college football no matter which foot comes down first. How was that play not even reviewed? He clearly dragged the back foot.
