You guys are looking at particular battles and I'm looking big picture at the war.
Utah ALWAYS has problems with teams that have more speed across the board, it's the Achilles heel of Whitt's defense.
Huntley was slightly off target all night, not bad, but every throw was 1 or 2 feet behind the receiver. Many were catchable, but not in stride which killed the YAC.
Oregon punched Utah hard in the mouth on the first series when they stopped them on third and 4th down from picking up the yard for the 1st. Oregon than took over on downs and just smashed the ball down the field to score. Utah didn't recover from that beat down until start of the 3rd quarter.
Anyhoo... that is some of the battles Utah lost that eventually cost them the war.
