I sympathize with Ute fans. A buddy, who is a Ute fan, posted this on his facebook after attending the game:

"Today is like the day I found out that Santa was my mom"

Go kick some Catholic *** next week, Fellas.
 
On the bright side, TCU is probably the best team in the nation...

Seriously. If TCU finished undefeated and they don't get a chance to play for the national championship, I'll ... I'll ...

well, frankly, I'll not be surprised. **** BCS system.

This pretty much sums up how I felt watching it. Not even a thrilling Jazz game can take away this feeling I have today.
 
I'm still in shock. Still don't know what just hit me or my beloved Utes. While TCU is certainly the better team, it's also obvious that for the first time in his tenure, Whitt didn't have his team ready to play a huge game. Considering his success with this in the past, I'm willing to give him a pass but it certainly starts to make you wonder. I'm starting to get a really bad feeling that Jordan Wynn is a longterm liability.

Now that reality has set in and I accept that Utah is just an average team, I turn my thoughts to the bright side: There's a still a good chance to finish 11-1 which would mean wins @ Notre Dame and beating BYU in the last ever MWC match-up between the two. Then, it's off to the Vegas Bowl to whallup the 5th place PAC team which would run the bowl winning streak to 10 straight.

However, with as bad as Utah looked this week, "best case scenario" is looking pretty shaky at this point.

I'm still pretty confident that we'll go 11-1 and destroy our future Pac-12 buddy in the Vegas Bowl. I'm already looking into hotel prices for Dec 21st and 22nd.

I really think that in order for Utah to move forward they need to recruit a QB. Wynn is a turnover machine who still can't make those 5 yard touch passes. He's got good talent. But he just doesn't seem to have any leadership or control over the offense. Some guys have it while others don't. Brian Johnson didn't have the strongest arm but had it.

I also think that Utah needs to put in more quick stuff into their passing game. More screens (especially to the WRs). Get the ball quickly out to those athletic WRs in space and let them make a play.

Roll Wynn out of the pocket, especially when he's obviously struggling inside the pocket. From what I saw yesterday, Utah focused a lot on slants and deep routes. They kept Wynn in the pocket which allowed TCU to just t-off and run at him.

The run game is way too basic too. Put in some more draws, traps, and sweeps. All I'm seeing are two run plays, Asiata up the middle and Wide outside over the tackle. Way too basic.
