RE: Utah game thread - 81alum - 10-06-2018
I'm disappointed, of course, in our play, but perhaps what is most frustrating to me is that I don't understand what has gone wrong. The offensive line is mostly the same people and the quality of its place has plummeted. Why? Losing is bad, but losing when you don't know the reason why is even worse.
Almost every game an announcer has said that our opponents are "out Stanfording Stanford."
I'll force myself to watch the second half. Perhaps we will have another miracle--although the Utah defense does not seem like the kind to surrender a big lead. But what I really want is understanding.

Not sure about the Rose Bowl part, but I don't think the game is unwinnable, even if Utah doesn't implode like the Ducks did.
RE: Utah game thread - martyup - 10-06-2018
Only 4 punts in the 1st half. That's positive.

Utah is not Oregon. You don’t say never, but we can’t count on Utah’s mistakes to bail us out.
BC
Did you see the Utah vs UW game? They can implode.

At the risk of stating the obvious, we need a TD drive here.
OK we're back in it. The defense needs to get a stop.

Funny I should ask. Would have been quite the catch.

One thing I sense is that the toughness/physicality we developed under Harbaugh has seemingly petered out. We are unable to "impose our will" on either O or D. We have lost our mojo.
RE: Utah game thread - martyup - 10-06-2018
2 downs to get 2
RE: Utah game thread - BostonCard - 10-06-2018
Give them some credit for calling three straight runs on first and goal from the eight and getting the touchdown. I wasn’t sure we had that in us.
And nice block by Fanaika.

RE: Utah game thread - martyup - 10-06-2018
We score to bring their lead down to 13.

Yes, but we're 2 for 2 on 4th down. ;-)

Right now the numbers of the game are 1/7 and 5/9, and -2. We're not converting on third, they are. We're turning it over, they're not.
RE: Utah game thread - BostonCard - 10-06-2018
To say this defensive series is important would be an understatement.

RE: Utah game thread - martyup - 10-06-2018
Time for our D to score.
GABE!!
RE: Utah game thread - BostonCard - 10-06-2018
My kingdom for a sack!
And nice d on the attempted screen. Fooled nobody.

Here we go. We can cut it to 6 with a TD.

Utes go three and out. The momentum has definitely switched.
