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.
I’d pay to watch.
The only "debacle" was the matchup. No one could beat USC right now. Not even Florida, who will destroy the Sooners.
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!
Hat’s Off to Ole’ Miss today. They sent Texas Tech packing.
It was a selfish move to sign a contract for 3 more years.

And beat Florida.
I’m taking Fla. over Okla. and giving 7. Any takers?
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).
There was someone upthread who will pick the Sooners to win by 50. See if her money’s good..... :^)
I’ll taboo myself and explain that SEC scores run in the family. I stay away from “that” money. Thanks Anyway :^)
Yes Ole Miss beat us today - but we had a great season and are still very proud of our team.
That is the spirit! I am a Tennessee Vol fan and we got spanked this year. I am not turning my back on them!
Well it certainly taints the OU vs Florida game, that’s for sure.
Despite some of the comments here - the Utes proved that the “big boys” can be beaten once in awhile -
They both get smoked in bowls.
