Utes Beat 'Bama in Sugar Bowl, 31-17
01/02/09 | Reaganesque

Posted on 01/02/2009 8:51:58 PM PST by Reaganesque

Way to go Utes! Eleven sacks! Twenty one points in the first quarter alone. The announcers kept asking if Utah could handle the Tide's big front line. Well, the French had a big front line in the 1930's and that didn't work out so well either.

I saw a couple of small breaks but what impressed me was the rushing defense. WOW

Do you really think Utah could beat USC?

The over/under with FL/OK will be at least 68. I think Florida will have 40 of those points.

Thanks. Speaking of Big 10 style football, has anyone heard if yesterday's debacle loss by Penn State will finally get Coach Paterno to retire?

The only "debacle" was the matchup. No one could beat USC right now. Not even Florida, who will destroy the Sooners.

The TT QB has thrown more TD passes this year than any QB in history. They had some offense.

Andre Ware was good to. But they weren't really playoff caliber.

I think TT and Ole Miss are reasons why a playoff should either be very broad (like March Madness), or should be restricted to teams that meet a pre-established qualification on the field (conference championship, top two in conference, etc.)

I’m a BYU alum, so rooting for the Utes is NOT in my nature...but I was cheering them on tonight. That first quarter! Wow!

It was a selfish move to sign a contract for 3 more years.

Yes, and let’s note that one of the ‘bama touchdowns was on a punt return, so the regular offense ‘only’ scored 10 points against the Ute defense.

One passing TD, one FG. Not exactly a huge offensive production, but credit the Utah D for that.

8 sacks and lots more pressure on Wilson..... not many QBs win against that kind of D.

The ‘bama rushing game did not exactly shine, with under 50 net yards (counting Wilson’s negative yardage against their total, which otherwise was still only 64 yards).

Despite some of the comments here - the Utes proved that the “big boys” can be beaten once in awhile -

What do Big Ten teams and marijuana have in common?

They both get smoked in bowls.
