Should we draw up another TD pass from T-Mac like we did last year?
Hearing Cam is not going to play and it'll be freshman QB Wilson

Beautiful. Wilson can't take care of the ball. Let's see if we can keep the turnover sword busy...
The turnover sword wasn't used often but our defense was stellar. The DL stepped up against Utah's massive OL and we consistently made tackles against talented playmakers.
After the first half, I thought Bernard and Dorian Singer would tear us apart but guys like Tacario Davis and Ta'Ufo'Ou were unbelievable.
Our OL cleared big holes for the running game but didn't provide enough time for Fifita to ever get into a rhythm (first drive excepted). That may be our only flaw of the game.
Tyler Loop showed off his leg on the national stage and we did enough to defeat a Top-10 program on the road.
Great way to begin the Big-12. Let's try to stop an underrated Tech squad next week. Bear Down!

I love that the Fifita fam is so close. Saw them in Manhattan and they're obviously a supportive and tight-knit group.
Glad that Noah could steal the win in Rice Eccles.
