What in the hell is Utah doing throwing a pick from the UF 6, on 2nd down and Goal, with less than 30 secs left, down 3?!?!?!?

I think you're blinded by the poor results, or we have very different coaching needs. I would absolutely expect any good coach to take those two remaining shots at the end zone (and through the air, given the lack of timeouts), especially with someone like Rising at the helm. I'd be yelling at my TV if he'd settle for the tie and OT in that situation. Tough loss, but them's the breaks, in my book.

Fundamentally, I agree. The only caveat I would add is the QB should know and additionally been reminded of the situation. If its there, take it. If it isn't, throw it over the goalpost.

Looking at the highlights, it looked like a pretty ill advised pass. I guess Rising thought he could thread the needle between two defenders, but it sure didn't work.
