    Its' actually 3 supremely terrible penalty calls cost UW close to 21 points. I could easily see Kyle going for it on 4th down and then azeem gets his penalty. The woooch penalty was downright laughable. Even Soccer fans yelled olè on that flag. Another penalty in the red zone and they score again.

    Utah barely moved the ball and if UW had not played hackysack on defense rather than actually pressure a qb who can't throw, or handle pressure this could have been a serious plungering.

    Up 21-0 with troy having to throw to lead the team back and holyyyyy shit it would have been ugly.

    i listened to the utah post-game after, they had a lot of guys saying "we'll see them again" and "we'll get em."

    when they're at home and fired up to play they're decent, but they seem to forget theyre gonna have to be colorado, asu, oregon to qualify for the p12 gold medal game.

    Jebezus fellow doogs, give them some credit. The pick Browning threw completely changed the momentum of the game. Utah hung tough, played a physical game, jumped out to a lead, and kept the outcome in question until the last play of the game. Big time tip of the cap to them. Anyone watching the game with an objective eye would conclude that UW has the better more talented team, but that game could have gone either way, which is exactly why Utah moved up in the AP poll despite the loss.

    There are still games to be played, both teams have to take care of business for a rematch to occur. Looking at the respective team's remaining schedules, UW is more likely to lose a game than Utah is, but even with that, a rematch is likely, and both teams will have the opportunity to clean things up, which could make for a great title game. As always, LIPO.

    Wat

    Utah will be underdogs in Boulder.

    The S&P ratings put Colorado WAY above Utah. Colorado is 12, Utah is 45.

    ESPN's FPI puts Colorado at 13 and Utah at 36. (USC is 12).

    Sagarin has Colorado at 17 and Utah at 31. (USC is 15)

    (Flagged for advanced stats bullshit)

    The FPI gave Utah a like 3% chance of winning out. Ours? is ~30% and that includes the higher likelihood we have to play a 13th game.

    That's not true...let's give Joe Williams a little credit.
