Hey...BYU has been starting a backup all season, it's not that bad :)
Utah did pretty good starting a backup QB against Pitt....
Anyone else notice how the future just looks a little brighter when your team wins. :2thumbs:
Utah is getting it going the last two weeks. Their defense is #1 in the Pac-12 and the running game is lights out. If both play well and they limit turnovers, then they can win any game down the stretch.
Big Game for Utah this tomorrow. I hope they can pull it off.

Just gotta say.... I'm lovin' this PAC 12 stuff.... Every games is a dog fight and every game carries so much importants.
Before the season began I thought to myself if the Utes can go 7-5 and get to a bowl it will be a successful foray into the PAC 12. Now with one game left Utah is still in the hunt for a Rose Bowl birth and failing that they stand a very good chance of playing Oklahoma in the Holiday Bowl.... ya gotta love.
:2thumbs:
Getting to any bowl is important to your program because you get and extra two weeks of practice, and the Utes have always used part of that two weeks preparing second team players for next year.
Anyhoo.... here is the PAC 12 bowl aflilliations in order of importants for those interested.
1. Rose Bowl
2. Valero Alamo Bowl
3. Bridgepoint Education Holiday Bowl
4. Hyundai Sun Bowl
5. Maaco Bowl Las Vegas
6. Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl
7. New Mexico Bowl

It is crazy how things have changed over the past 4 weeks. I might sound crazy, but I would rather see the Utes head straight to a bowl game and skip the beat down in the championship game. :ne_nau:
I don't know... there is only going to be one first ever PAC 12 Championship game... it would be nice to make an appearance.
If Utah gets the Holiday Bowl I might have to book a flight. San Diego is nice this time of year.
I guess any real fan would want to give it a go against the big dogs.
However taking positive momentum (from the regular season) into the bowl would be good too.
the ute defense is stout. they always have a chance, IMO. couple of turnovers go their way, and they can beat anyone in the PAC12. i'd like to see them make a run at the rose bowl, though holiday bowl against the sooners sounds pretty damn good too...
Major choke job... :facepalm:
Makes it even more brutal to watch both Arizona State and UCLA lose. Utah controlled their own destiny and blew it to one of the worst teams in the conference. :facepalm:

The loss will probably send the team bowling in El Paso instead of beautiful San Diego, and cost them 2 million in bowl payout.
Latest I heard was Utah vs. Texas in the Holiday bowl. So maybe San Diego still? I am having trouble justifying spending the money to go after the miserable performance this weekend. It would be hard to swallow the cost if they didn't show up again!
Washington and Cal both won their final games, have the same record as Utah, and both beat Utah during the season... I expect it to shake out about like this. That loss to Colorado was huge to Utah on so many levels....
Rose Bowl: Oregon vs. Big Ten
Fiesta Bowl: Stanford vs. Big 12
Alamo Bowl: Washington vs. Big 12
Holiday Bowl: California vs. Big 12
Sun Bowl: Utah vs. ACC
Las Vegas Bowl: Arizona State vs. Mountain West
Kraft Fight Hunger: No team vs. ACC or Army
New Mexico Bowl: No team vs. Mountain West
It doesn't look like the Pac 12 will be able to fill all its bowl commitments this year. Now if UCLA beats Oregon next week this all goes out the window. The funny thing is UCLA wins the PAC 12 South but if they lose in the championship game they are not bowl eligible at 6-7.
