Last year, Utah was often cautious in its first half, then would make adjustments and have a better showing in the
second half. I wish we'd punched them in the mouth (figuratively, of course) the first several minutes of the second half, instead of seeming to take a strategy of digging in and holding the immense lead.
But, considering how many of our key players were so torn up-- playing on heart and grit, where muscle and bone was torn and broken-- that probably seemed the best strategy.
With everyone healthy, with the best depth we've had in a long while, with our new QB having had so much game time last year for players to get a feel for his style, and with coaches who've built some relationships with the players, we have the last elements we need to crush the Utes this year.
