Utah presser:

With regard to the officiating, in comparison with Colorado:

"It was night and day, it was so extreme it is not even funny.  You have to adjust, is all I can say." 

"Tough road for us at the end of the season.  Hopefully this will make us very hungry."

Imagine what would have happened if the two officiating crews had been reversed.  Having a closely called game at Colorado to keep Colorado from playing us too physical, and an anything-goes game against Utah to let us push them around, and I think we come out with two easy wins.

Of course no team should be able to dial up exactly the style of officiating that will benefit them the most, even if it seems as if both of our opponents did so this weekend.  Yet another reason we are very lucky to get 1 win out of this trip.

Before the Utah game Tara was interviewed and dismissed the elevation factor, but pointed out a different one:  6 of the last 8 games on the road.

Scheduling, travel snafus, officiating--all took a toll.  We still deserved to lose, and we still have not really figured out our offense, and for the first time this year our defense let us down too.  At least now we get a few days to rest before Oregon or Washington.
