Congrats to #BoiseState on their first #PAC12Championship! They beat #BYU, who went 5-0 against the Pac 12 including #Utah (with their old QB) who won the unofficial championship game. I think I’m beginning to understand this bogus #byulogic. Excited for the #rosebowl!"
It is clear that Ludwig won the chess game. He knew UO would stack the box and try to stop the run. So the first half he picked them apart with pass plays–instead of using the run to set up the pass, he did the opposite.
Was Thibodeaux’s name even called tonight?
If he wins DPOY over Lloyd, I’m gonna riot.
TJ Pledger had a great quote on the post game radio show. He said that the team has dealt with so much off the field that they were ready for anything on the field.
He had one sack and a couple tackles but that was about it.
It actually was called - exactly once! But I’m with you, Lloyd for DPOY or let me know where to meet for the riot!
THIS!
The data could support a conclusion that Utah was underrated. The perception just got affected by the first three games, but the current group bares little resemblance to the one In early September.
So you’re saying Andy outcoached them. I can’t wait to send this to my SIL. 
Hire Ludwig!
I am so damn amped!
Wasn’t going to, but I just bought Rose Bowl tickets.
They are disappearing quick.
Stolen from an Oregon forum site but it made me laugh
Just got back. Staying in St George. That was fun as hell.
It’s behind a paywall, but I like this quote from The Athletic:
In just 11 seasons, Utah won the conference and cemented its spot in a Rose Bowl. Arizona, which joined the Pac-10 in 1978, has never been. The last time Cal was in a Rose Bowl (1959) was prior to The Beatles being called The Beatles. Oregon State hasn’t been since 1965. Arizona State’s last visit was 1997. UCLA’s? 1999.
Utah 76, Oregon 17.
I spot checked that claim and it holds up. Pretty cool.
Now if we could become the torch bearer for basketball too…
This year will become a movie. If it’s made by Disney does it get titled “Remember the Utes” or “The Mighty Utes”?
