If Washington goes to the CFP, we'll be in the Sun Bowl.
If not... Vegas bowl. Again.

Agreed, what a great season for Colorado. Kudos to them and Mike McIntire (sp?) for turning that program around so completely.

But... I want to go to a different place than the Vegas bowl. So I'll be cheering for Washington in the P12CG.

As far as our Offensive Coordinator goes...

Until we get a good OC, and get Kyle to keep his hands out of the cookie jar, I don't think we can reasonably expect anything more than a 9-3 season. 10-2, 11-1, or even 12-0 will simply not happen while Kyle meddles, and/or while we still have A-Rod/Harding as OC's. It's Kyle's prerogative to meddle, I get it. He's the head coach and we're lucky to have him. But it's bad business. We can't expect more from this team until Kyle changes how he does things, and until we get those idiots out of the OC position.

What an embarrassment. Seriously.

Until Kyle changes his philosophy our offense will continue to suck ***. I had high hopes for this season but it was the same old conservative **** with no offensive ingenuity. We don't run screens, our HB is not a part of our offense at all. We run deep routes and run the ball, that is it. Safest possible pass mixed in with a few slants and a lot of runs. I'm not sure replacing the entire offensive staff solves anything, because Kyle will still be in charge and they'll still play as conservative as possible. which will get them 8-10 wins a year but never have that spectacular season.

Did Whitt coach them to an undefeated season and *** Whooping over alabama? If so, I consider kinda spectacular.
 
Was expecting a little more out of Troy Williams
Had high hopes he would play closer to Lamar Jackson in elite athlete skills and high IQ
He blew a read option at goal line when Joe would have walked into endzone
He threw into double coverage a couple times
But receivers were bad too
They dropped easy passes and caught bad throws
Will Troy be back next year?

Yes he did. The last 3 years they had the south title in hand and lost to crappy teams. Back then he still had to prove himself, and was not as conservative as he has not become. That was 8 years ago, against a mostly MWC schedule. I like where he's brought the team, But I'm about as frustrated as a Ute fan as I was when it was time for McBride to move on. I don't think it's time for Kyle to move on...But I can't be the only one frustrated with back to back disappointing finishes. This season feels like a complete fail.
 
I think Hill needs to sit down with Kyle to talk about goals for the passing game next season and how to achieve them. Overall Whittingham has been a damn good coach but Utah's passing game is unacceptable.

Honestly without improvement soon I think we need to move on. We just can't be at the bottom of the conference year in and year out offensively.
 
On twitter, Ute fans seem to be bitterly divided, with a large segment seeming to adopt a "how dare you expect more out of this program" type of attitude and even some people calling for Ute fans to find a new team to root for if they dare complain about yet another late season swan dive.

Here's the bottom line: Whittingham is NEVER changing the way he operates this team offensively. We've certainly got enough of a case history to back this up. Regardless of who our OC is, he's going to continue to meddle, not develop a QB, and play the most simplistic offense known to man out of fear. I've honestly gotten to the point where I'm just trying to accept going to the Vegas bowl yearly and hoping that at the very least, we can continue beating BYU.
 
Well we made it back

My bro's friend sums it up - "we came, we lost, but we loved the beer!". if you go to boulder, hit up the breweries, it is worth it!

as far as the game goes, just missed chances, same deal all season. we were sitting right on the sideline and we thought for sure patrick was going to come down with that touchdown grab early in the game and make it a 14-0 game that would have been huge. felt like williams couldn't have thrown the ball better than that. what was up with patrick? just looked out of it until the 2nd half. you gotta hit on those plays too because you know that colorado was just going to load up and stuff the run. i can't believe the play call on 4th and 1. like are you ****ting me? that was the time to do some kind of play action, instead we run it up the middle and no chance, just horrible horrible play calling that's all you can say. if i have one wish it is to please fire roderick, this isn't working out, we need a better play caller to make our passing game legitimate. we haven't had a good passing game since joining the pac-12.
 
Those refs sucked hard though. I mean how many times were CU's defenders all over Utah receivers and nothing was called. Yet they throw a flag on Utah on a total BS PI. Get outta here pac-12 refs!
 
PI that was called, don't know what hatfield did wrong here

also the same ref threw the late pi flag on porter which prolonged colorado's touchdown drive. unfortunately there isn't a good replay on that one
 
refs actually blew two calls on this play

dude just straight up grabbed butler-byrd which slowed him down, nothing called

marked him out at the 9 yard line, i don't think so

he did step out eventually up but more like around the 5-6 yard line

these refs were blind!
 
The lesson as always, pac12 officials suck.
