I come here for validation. I get more from LA than from my wife.
We have done that two weeks in a row; it didn't cost us against USC, but did against Cal. Can't allow that to happen.
Probably true, BUT isn't part of the tactic to prevent Cal from getting a final chance. Even 30 seconds is plenty for this Cal team if the Utes are up 1 or 2 or 3 for Cal to beat or catch up, especially with its timeouts. Also, maybe Whit thought Cal would call timeout. But they followed the Belichick approach.

You don't let it run down on first down. You wait until 3rd or 4th to make sure you have enough time
Did anyone else have a traumatic flashback to that game in the MWC where we couldn't punch it in the endzone against UNLV with 4 consecutive tries from the 1? I lost all verbal communication capability for 16 hours, I was so disturbed.
True. He must have been playing time-out chicken. But the first order of business is scoring!

The team's poise was excellent.

Nope. I don't let the losses ruin my day. A loss is like a bee sting that goes away quickly. But when they win, I'm Master of the Universe for a day (in my own mind). I learned this trick a long time ago.

I thought that was Colo State???? At the time, I didnt think KW would last the season, and wasnt sure he should.

I remember he lost to UNLV 27-0 his second? season. Was the CSU game then too? At some point after that UNLV the team transformed, slaughtering Louisville (which had been ranked, I think) on the road and winning out except a heartbreaker vs. BYU.

That game was a turning point for the program. I hope this game has a similar effect.
I googled it. The colo st game was 2005, KW's first year. With BJ and Ganther no less. Here is a recap:
FORT COLLINS, Colo. - Kyle Bell scored a 49-yard touchdown run with 5:05 remaining, then the Colorado State Rams stonewalled the Utah Utes on the goal line on three straight plays with less than a minute left for a 21-17 win Saturday.
After Bell's touchdown, Utah drove from its 20-yard line to the CSU four.
On first-and-goal, running back Quinton Ganther ran for a three-yard gain, but the Rams stuffed quarterback Brian Johnson for no gain on the next two plays.
After a time out, Ganther again tried to take the ball to the end zone on fourth down, but was tackled by CSU's defensive end Jesse Nading with 22 seconds remaining.
Unless we score on 1st down, then there's 34 seconds left.
I watched the Falcons beat the Seahawks, who were up by 1, in 28 seconds in the playoffs three years ago.

So traumatic, I blocked out the opponent. Colo State it was. It's all becoming clear again to me. UNLV was 27-0, with that bowling ball running back they had.... man, you gotta admit that it feels better to have our hearts ripped out against P5 competition rather than UNLV, though.
Didn't they bring in some therapists or a shaman or something in the middle of that season to fix the programs psyche?
Tennessee on Saturday is an even better example. Still, I would much rather take the risk that we score on first down and have enough time on second, third and fourth if we dont.
I remember that on one of BJ's two attempts on 2nd/3rd downs, he actually got the ball over the goal line and the ref on that side of the field inexplicably didn't give him the TD call. Seems like sour grapes to whine about that now, but I was livid at the time. If memory serves (and it might not, after 11 years) it wasn't even that close - BJ got in.
I wonder how that non-call may have affected things long-term, if at all.
That game was 2007. I was there. This was the game that sparked my bad "in person" juju streak.
I was standing right at the goal line on that series. I gave the touchdown signal twice.
Nothing new here but a decent analysis:

Our coaching staff is smart. We'll see what changes based on all of this. Whit himself talked about red zone efficiency in his presser today, said they need to be "more creative." Hot Lunch must've gotten to him.
What about coming out flat at the beginning of the game? Seems like that happens too often with KW teams, although no so much thos year (or am I forgetting something?). Anyway, it is 100% correctable and that is up to the coaches.
