Slept on it and I'm ready to move on

It was a tough, tough defeat but this was the perfect storm for TCU. They had a wild home crowd (their best crowd in school history), hype on their side, emotion and more importantly - the better team. Rarely can any program overcome that and generally it leads to a mighty beating.
Rational me knows this is about where I expected Utah to be ten games into the season. I didn't expect losing 55-28 to the Frogs, however. That is hard to digest, but it is what it is and I know - over the long run - this loss won't mean much to this program.
I say this because I think we found ourselves a really great quarterback last night. It was an ugly situation all around, but Jordan Wynn is the brightest thing to come out of that game from Utah outside of the fact it actually ended without any major injuries and death.
It wasn't a performance worthy of ESPN Classics, but with how much was thrown his way, he handled adversity about as well as anyone could have ever imagined. That means good things for the future.
We can leave the defensive lapses and special team disasters to another day. But right now, I feel confident this team can win out and finish with a respectable record in what many considered a season where Utah would struggle at times.
11-2 is still doable and should continue to be our goal. That starts Saturday against San Diego State.

Jordan Wynn is looking great
I came away very impressed with him from this game. He was getting no protection and making good things happen. He didn’t quit the entire game when most upperclassmen would have been rattled. Very comforting to know we have another great QB for the next few years.
The D on the other hand needs to regroup in a big way and they will. That was very ugly. I think we’re going to torch BYU though because of the way the offense is shaping up.

Exactly
Great sentiments.
They’ve been on about this season and game since losing to us last year, TCU is really a fine football team—no shame in losing to them at their house.
We’re still have a very fine year for Utah football.

Thanks Utah?
This is college football in 2009. In the past, any mention of TCU (or Utah, or Boise State) in the same sentence as “national title” would have immediately garnered smirks and the automatic response of “Who have they played?” Now, there’s an unquestioned respect level. The Horned Frogs have Utah to thank for much of that; last year’s Sugar Bowl romp over Alabama elevated both the Utes’ and the Mountain West’s profile. But I’m guessing a lot of it is also coming from a simple eyeball test.
