Season Opener

Well, Utah Football has officially begun, which means this blog will cease to be neglected as it has been all summer long!

Utah beat Michigan today by a score of 25-23. Utah dominated most of the game, but they let Michigan come back on them in the 4th quarter. I was really please with how we played (most of the time...). Utah faced some adversity at the hands of the officials. I can't remember EVER seeing Utah get hit with so man penalties.

The thing that was disappointing to me was the very last possession of the game. Utah took over on about Michigan's 15 yard line with 2:35 left. Instead of even TRYING to score, they opted to run laterally and just run down the clock. They ran all four downs that way. In all, they lost about 20 yards on the possession -- intentionally. I just think that the coaching staff showed a total lack of confidence in the players, and it was a cowardly way to finish the game. And they should have at VERY least kicked the field goal (which, for Sakoda, would have been a drop in the bucket).

Oh well, a win's a win. And this one was a pretty big one.

Bring on the Rebels!

I Can't Wait!!

So, I'm pretty much on Utah Football's official site just about every day. I also read all of the articles in the Tribune about the Utes (deseret news, not so much). I can't help it. I get this way every year. In less than a month, football season will begin!

I can't wait!!!
That is all.
