Going into the game with byu this week I felt the Utes had the better team. Sure, the past month Utah hasn't been lighting up the scoreboard. In fact, we've gone from an elite team, to a team that's barely surviving. Still, last week the Utes showed some heart against the Aztecs. I thought that victory would help Utah regain their mojo going into Rivalry Week.
I was wrong.
Utah was terrible offensively in the first three quarters. They didn't score. They benched Wynn and brought in Cain. That was one of the worst potential mistakes of the season. I know things weren't going well, but switching quarterbacks wreaks of desperation. Maybe we were desperate. After Cain got picked for the second time, the Utes really were desperate. Then something started to happen.
The cougars made some mistakes.
Each time the Utes were right there to capitalize.
In the 4th quarter things turned around in a hurry. The game when from 13-0 to 13-10 in a matter of seconds. Momentum was on the Utes side. Then the game stalled for much of the period, but with four minutes left the Utes scored a second TD and took the lead 17-16. It looked like Utah might just pull out a win. Til byu drove the ball downfield. It took the rest of the time, but the cougars were prepared to win the game on a FG with 3 seconds left. Then something happened.
Brandon Burton happened.
The kick was up and Brandon Burton blocked it!

The Utes won!
They won ugly.
They shouldn't have won, but they won.
This is what the cougars usually do to Utah, but not today.
Today was a UTAH day.
It's a great day to be a UTE!
