a utah man am i



i had the extreme privilege of attending the blackout game - utah v. tcu - with austin last night. (he's turned me into somewhat of a crazed fan.)



note the sea of black - the crowd looked awesome!

killer game. in the beginning, it looked rough. tcu is a GOOD team and had us 10-0, but we were able to kick a couple of field goals, taking us to half-time at 10-6. utah's defense was stellar and we were able to hold them through the second half. in the 4th quarter a couple of missed field goals (in a row) on tcu's part had us pretty certain that we should probably win this game. 2 minutes left and the crowd was roaring. i think it must have been the sheer adrenaline pumping up our offense, because they were finally able to move the ball. we scored a ridiculously exciting touchdown with about 45 seconds left. it was a little nerve-wracking because tcu's offense is SO fast and they were able to really move the ball down the field in very little time, but with about 4 seconds left we intercepted their pass and the game was ours.



crazy fans rushing the field. i had to hold austin back.

final score utah-13, tcu-10.


well played, boys.
