So much to say about this game. A couple of items I picked up from the post-game show:
Wazzu is the highest-scoring team in the PAC-12 and the 6th highest in the USA. They were averaging 52.8 points per game until tonight when they got 13 -- and were shut out during the second half. Not sure when was the last time Mike Leach was shut out.
We controlled the ball for over 12 minutes of the 3rd quarter. That was one big reason Wazzu had so few offensive opportunities.
The Utes had almost 500 yards of offense in the first three quarters.

To answer the thread title, yes, yes we can.
I applaud Scalley and company for doing something totally different than they have ever done before. I have never seen the Utes play a three deep zone and it was very effective in keeping the Wazzu WR's in front of them. On the flip side, I wish we would have had that in the arsenal a week ago.

Most flawless game I can remember since 2015 Oregon. Wazzu never got untracked offensively or defensively. Had a few drops, did turn the ball over on downs early, but nothing was fatal, and more than enough players stepped up to overcome whatever missteps we had. Nine drives, five TDs, one FG, one punt, one missed FG, one turnover on downs. Surgical precision.
I was in attendance on Saturday night. The weather was crazy...pretty sure we got hailed on there for a minute. A lot of folks bailed at halftime, but the crowd that stuck around was pretty loud. Despite the conditions, really enjoyable result. Glad to see Huntley punch one more in at the end there.

Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

I propose a fund be set up to pay for DrumNFeather to attend each game, home or away, as this appears to be the common link in victories going forward.
