I’m bullish on the Utes. 2 steps forward this year. Win bowl game. Get back to Championship game. Great showing by fans. We have some great fans. We also have some total idiots. One guy, who could barely stand, decided to stand all game despite there being an 80 year old lady right behind him. She and her husband were gracious.

Chris Petersen is a complete joke. What the hell is being with his playcalling? Our offense had the ball for 40 minutes and only managed to score 3 points? And wtf can't we get a good kicker? I can't believe we had to get completely lucky on a lucky bounce pick-6. I'll miss Gaskin, but don't let the door hit your ass on the way out Jake Browning. We're going to get smoked by Ohio State, and it won't be pretty. I thank Lord Xenu that football is almost over so we can get back to sucking at shooty hoops.
Am I doing this right?

Look at the box score our actual running backs ran only 13 times. Washington's rbs ran 32 times. Is it any wonder why they won the time of possession? If you look at the drive charts we only moved the ball when we ran with our running backs on first down.

I'll stipulate that the OC called a bad game last night, but we were in the game last night. I don't mean we were competitive and only lost by a TD. I mean, we were in the championship game. Utah won their division and everything, and not despite the OC. Utah scored 40+ four weeks in a row, and then found a way to win three games after losing their starting QB and RB to injury.
The OC called some stinkers early and then last night, but he did enough to earn some credit. He should be back next year, and we should be happy about that.

I tried to listen to Kyle‘s post-game interview but didn’t catch it all. Did anyone ask him about the reluctance to run?
They pretty much stuffed us every time we tried to run, and I think their DL abused our OL in the first half. But the way I’ve always heard it, you have to keep trying to run in order to keep the other team honest, and to wear them down. It seems to me that all season long we’ve generally run the ball better in the second half for that reason. Anyone else have any insight?

It seemed like we had a very difficult time stopping Gaskin in the first half, but did better in the second. Not sure why. It was maddening to watch him squirt through the line time after time. But you’re right, they were much more successful at running than we were,at least in terms of grinding out yardage and time of possession. I still believe that Washington abused our offensive line for most of the first half, and much of the second.

This was linked on UF. net. I am not at all familiar with the Washington fan base, but this is definitely not a good look for them.
