Unbelievable

PrintI don't know what to make of this season except Utah seems to always find a way to win. When all hope looked to be lost, Brian Johnson -- as he did last month -- marched Utah down field and scored in the final seconds.
This time, though, it was for the win.
Unbelievable.
It was a game for the ages in more ways than one and now Utah can claim to own a victory over a top-eleven team. Amazing. The journey isn't over, there are still two games left, but Utah has now moved one step closer to the BCS, with possibly their biggest battle now behind them.
What a victory and what heart this team has. These are amazing players and this is probably the most enjoyable season ever for me, yes, even trumping 2004.
At least for now.

Yep
Recall all those potentially good Ute teams that lost every game that was like this one because they could not do exactly what Johnson did, keep cool and patient?
Also, the game was called a tad oddly. Blocks to the back, interference. What a nightmare for a fan to wtach eveyr play of, then teh redemption at the end . . .wow, big payoff to teh loyal.
’Grats to the mighty Utes. Talented and patient. Kruger was amazing as was our O line most of the night.
Respect The Men
I think it is time that we all give Kyle Wittingham and Brian Johnson their due credit. Wittingham has shown that he is a solid coach that can lead this team into a perenial BCS buster (hopefully one day the MWC will have an automatic bid) and Johnson has shown he is a legitimate winner. He doesn’t get as many chances to throw as some of the other great quarterbacks in the country, but he has shown that he is an equal.
While I’m still not sold on Ludwig, because with the talent we have I think we should be more of a force on offense, I’m not going to slam him this week.
TCU is an awesome team that hopefully won’t drop too much with this loss because they don’t deserve it.
Regarding the blocks in back and the interference non-calls, isn’t someone in the booth supposed to be reviewing those? Why didn’t the Utah coaches call for a review on a couple of them? I was baffled by that.
Or the lone TCU TD.
It was clear he was a yard short and the Utes could have reviewed that one, too. Had they held them to 3 there, the game plays out far differently.
Believe it.
This is the second time we’ve referred to a game this season as “Unbelievable.” It’s time to start accepting these kinds of games as not only “Believable” but as “Sure Things.”
