Sugar Bowl: Utah 31, Alabama 17 (Final)

[Hawk Spielman]

Bad tackling or no, you gotta love Utah's intensity on defense. I really hope our D can play at that level on Monday.

They have matched Bama's physicality and intensity all game long. They are some real big hitters on that D.

I haven't watched that closely, but has Terrance Cody made a single tackle yet? I haven't heard his name at all (other than on the 4th and 1 false start play). Seems like Utah is doing a good job keeping him in check.

I'm pouring another drink, and she should too. Still a lot of time left.

definitely....got time for at least a couple of scotches before this one is put to bed...

If Utah wins this game I'm not sure how you can say for certain who the MNC is this year.
I'm not sure you could have anyway but if this pans out I'm really not sure

That was a pretty slick looking screen they ran there.

It looked like a punt return

Let's say that Utah wins by 17, and then Florida beats OU in a close one.......how does anyone at least not give the Utes a share of the NC this year?? I'm not a fan of the mid majors in the BCS bowls, but the team I am watching tonight definitely should be in the "best team" discussion.

Why did they punt there? I think that's a no brainer go for it situation for Utah. No matter what the score, esp in the 3rd quarter.

For sure. They are good but they are still Utah. You have to go for it in this big of an underdog role

PI???? WTF?

 

[TheIronColonel]

Seems like a very generous flag there...

Ever try running full speed with someone grabbing your jersey?

 

[Basebuck]

Bama is starting to get in a groove here. The Utes need a big play

I think that BAMA ultimately pulls out a victory, but I've been very impressed with Utah.
