Game Thread: No. 5 Stanford @ Utah

Up almost a mile high in Salt Lake City in 49° weather, UTAH DROPS STANFORD

MOTHER OF GOD

Utah has played pretty well all year. Their 2 losses come from Oregon State in OT and to UCLA in game the could/should have won. Travis Wilson threw 6 INTS and they only lost by 7.

Was nice to see them get the win. Hopefully this is the beginning for the Utes.

Utah demonstrated it is one of the most physical teams in the nation. They took it to the Cardinal. So much that on a 3rd & 2 from the six-yard line with a minute left in the game, Stanford thought their best chance to win was passing.

What the hell kind of pass was that? They should have just taken their chances and run the damned ball.

This was Whittingham beating Shaw.

The Utes played very physical football. Even the WRs were making great downfield blocks that helped gain yardage on those swing routes, screen passes and runs that broke the first level.

Big, bad, bully Stanford thought their best chance to win was to pass twice on a 3rd & 2 from the six. Utah effectively took their strength away.

Playing in the Wastach Mts. is no easy gig. Not sure if that is where the place is, but the those Mts. are a beautiful sight.

Congrats to Utes and their fanbase. Glad we got the hell outta there with a win.
