Petersen and step down after this year (or in the next couple of years) if Utah won the conference title. They said, in interviews with him, he loved talking about his hobbies as much as football and that he had said he wants to retire while he's still "young."

I wonder if this loss increases or decreases the chances of that. He might be more motivated to keep trying or he may decide it's not ever going to happen and it's time to hit the slopes.
