wish I could say the same about the officiating

I think FOX is doing a hell of a job with the game coverage.

MUCH better than last year! During the BCS bowls last year, they lived in the crowd. It was HORRIBLE!!

And I do mean IN the crowd!

I may be the only one here but I am feeling pretty confident right now. We started to slow them down and started getting a little bit of pressure on the QB. Ingram is running his ass off and they aren't getting to JPW as much.

Here is looking to a grinding 2nd half and if we can stop them on the first drive and kill this momentum then I think we will be just fine as we hopefully start to grind them down. Maybe I am just being optimistic which isnt my nature but something is feeling right. RTR

I somewhat agree. The one trouble spot Utah has had under Whittingham is going for the throat and closing games. We tend to let teams hang around, and it's come back to bite us on many occasions. I think this first drive of the 2nd half is going to tell us a lot about how the rest of the game will go.

I agree with that. This first possession of the 3rd quarter is going to be very important.

They haven't scored since 4 minutes left in the 1st. NOW, we haven't scored an offensive TD either... :shock:

Yep. That was one of the first things I noticed during the Cotton.

AMEN brother and that is the scary part to me. Not giving up but we have to mix up some play calling and these receivers are going to have to catch these balls that are hitting them in the hands. Did I mention we need to block.

I agree Terry. It makes you wish that CBS would lose that 2:30 slot and Fox would snatch it up.

Bad part there is that we're kicking off from the 15...

I agree, but it's going to take everything we have.

What did Maze do?

I agree, we are in good shape. It seems to me that Utah trying to kill the clock with 3 minutes left indicates they may have changed to a 'play not to lose' game plan. If our D continues and the O wakes up, we should win this game.

Personal foul after time expired. I didn't see it, but I suspect some chicken fighting in the secondary.

I keep going back to the ball that JPW threw to Julio on the first drive of the game. He catches that one and things make have gone much differently. :?

Can you PM me a couple of those little bottles you have on a flight. I am out of scotch.

Our other receivers have GOT to step up and catch the ball when they have the chance.

Onside would not surprise me here...

 

[bamadezz]

Bottom line, we have to stop those damn short passes!!!! They're eating us up with em.

 

[SkinyUte]

From your own 15? That'd be ballsy.

From our fifteen? It would surprise me.
