Utes 2011 Football Discussion

The missed FGs besides the last one were pretty bad. Although the last one is one of the easiest 48 yard FG attempts you can take. Not saying that making it is easy.

All three misses were on the end where I was sitting. The wind was bad and it was swirling. I'm not letting Peterson off the hook, but I am not giving him that much blame, either. Anything over 35 yards at that end was going to be iffy. Just a horrendous effort from a team that can't afford to give less than its all.
 
From Los Angeles Times' Chris Dufresne: "Norm Chow, as Utah's offensive coordinator, finally helped deliver a title to Westwood."

Ouch.
 
As a Colorado fan, I was thrilled about this win. I don't care if it was St. Mary's School for the Blind, Colorado hasn't won on the road in an eternity.

I don't like that Utah has been made Colorado's rival either. For years I cheered for the Utes partially because of their geographical proximity to the Jazz, and partially because they've run a good program and were BCS busters for so many years. It feels bizarre to root against them and for them to be considered a rival, even though the geographic rivalry makes sense.
They are not in any way rivals. It is pathetic that the PAC is trying to force them to be rivals.
 
I wasn't too crazy about Petersen missing from 26 (wind not withstanding) but that whole game, my mind kept going back to the personal foul on Moe Lee during CU's first drive.

Also, Vakapuna really turned it on in the second half, yet Chow seemed to forget about him completely after the fumble. I thought that was a mistake.
 
LOL...

Ironic...

Utah got out of the MWC... To only play in the Vegas bowl... And to be railed by 20+ against a MWC opponent... LOL...

Well, at least getting beat by TCU or Boise by at least 3 touchdowns is still better than being Independent...

OC's are dumb sometimes. The mantra is always pass late in the game when down to save clock but running the ball effectively can work just as well. If anything I would've like to have seen them get V the ball via draw or screens.
