Big win tonight. I can hear a huge sigh of relief coming from the north.

Sheesh, that was an ugly game. Penalties, turnovers, ragged play... Ugh.

But you are right back in the thick of things. Should be an interesting conference race.

The Utes under Whittingham are a roller coaster ride. I would not bet on them. Anymore.

They seem to perform best in the must win games, like BYU last year, Ga. Tech, now TCU.

The difference tonight was that the Utes punched TCU in the mouth with very solid defensive play, instead of being on the receiving end of the punch.

While the offense was much better in the first half, it did what it neeed to do in the 2nd half. Time of possession in the 4th quarter was around 11:30 - 3:30 for the Utes.

Glad I was wrong about my prediction.

Saturday should be a good day for the Cougars. Hit SDSU early and they'll roll over and play dead.
