Official UofU homer thread

Overall, a clean game. There were only like 4 or 5 penalties all game. Zero late hits or unsportsmanlike. That’s impressive. I didn’t see the Bernard punch fish is talking about. The Ghwanloku hit was questionable. My initial reaction was targeting, but they never reviewed it.
My biggest complaint was the call to give it to Riley Burt on 4th and 1 right up the gut. Everybody and their dog was expecting that. He hadn’t done anything to give me the confidence he could get that. I would have tried some kind of fake to him, have Wilson roll right with a TE running about five yards deep, giving Zach the option of running for it or throwing to the TE.

I simply don't think they had the time. Utah went right to the line of scrimmage and snapped the ball. They were going very fast. The announcers said that looks like clear targeting, before he could finish his thought the next play was starting.

I agree that it was targeting in how targeting is called.
I dont believe it was malicious or was done with ill intentions or dirty or anything though. (Not implying that you are saying it was dirty or anything btw)

Overall it was a good clean game with good sportsmanship. Sure there was a bit of trash talking here and there but thats football. Only thing i saw that wasnt very good sportsmanship was that punch by bernard (i didnt actually see it in game, i saw it in a gif this morning) and i heard that the ute players broke a sideline huddle chanting “**** byu” but that is pretty minor and just a part of a football rivalry too. (I didnt actually hear that btw i just saw another social media post that said that is what happened.

I don't believe it was malicious, but do think it was dangerous and is the exact kind of hit they are trying to eliminate.

There is a far dirtier play than Bernard's supposed punch. I saw the replay and I don't believe he punched him. A BYU guy is pushing on a Utes neck after the play driving him into the ground, I believe it was Bushman with the dirty play. That was a more egregious foul than Utah's and is clearly seen in a video.

But I agree overall it was a fairly clean game. We all know this rivalry is rarely played with this few questionable plays and is rarely played without at least 3 Personal fouls let alone without any being called.
 
Just saw a different angle on Bernards supposed punch, it clearly shows him hitting the ground and not Wilson. Btw BYU has a player in Wilson, he looked pretty good. He showed a lot of composure out there.

Crazy game, the way BYU defense was dominating early on i was just happy to see a first down. They came out ready to play, Utah didnt. Think they were thinking ahead. But redeemed themselves at the end. I dont know if they showed it on tv but there was a long fireworks show after the game which was unexpected.
 
If I have one request for friday - if we find ourselves in a 3rd and short either go for the easy quick pass or a run instead of going for all or nothing deep pass. Yeah BYU defense played well but we also made it difficult on ourselves early when we didnt need to. Just move the chains.

If the Utes beat Washington, does anyone have any idea who the Utes might play in the rose bowl?

Winner of Big 10 title game, unless they go to the playoff. I think Ohio state will beat Northwestern but not sure they get a playoff invite. Michigan is the most likely, I think Ohio State will make the playoff if they beat Northwestern convincingly, that Michigan win was a jumping point to the playoff.

Everything I hear is that most likely Oklahoma gets in over Ohio st. Regardless of what Ohio st. does.
 
Wtf ute fans? No gamethread? No talk about the game? This is arguably the biggest game in program history and there is nothing but crickets.

Shameful
