Give it up to the Utah Utes who TOTALLY dominated Alabama. This seasons bowl games have been a little more on the disappointing side for me. I must admit though, I did not think that Utah would have any chance against a Crimson Tide team, who during the year, were ranked #1 and were in one of the tougher conferences in all of college football. But the game more than won me over. They dominated all aspects of the game and it was hard hitting from the beginning. As great as that game was, it could never wash the taste out of my mouth of having to sit through the Ohio State/Texas game. Oh, My, Gosh! How anyone could rationally pick Texas as the number one team in the nation is beyond me. Ohio pushed them around all game long. Texas' defense is soft and allowed the bucks to take the lead at half-time and overcome an 11 point deficit in the 4th quarter. Ohio should have won the game and had it not been for blown coverage on the final touchdown play then it would be a different blog today.
With all of this coming to life in the Fiesta bowl, we can all concede that Florida, USC, and Utah are the three best teams in all of CFB. Come this thursday Florida will have their way with Oklahoma. The score will not reflect the domination I'm pretty sure, however it will more than make up for the crappy bowls that we have seen this season.
Don't read anything into this new post, it is not another "We So Need a Playoff System in College Football!" diatribe. I'm just shedding some light on what the Texas fans are feeling today. They had an exciting last second win against a team that everyone thought that they would blow away. But that is how their entire season went. Barley beating teams and losing in the most emotional games. Colt McCoy should not be the Heisman, nor should he be considered the #1 pick in the draft that he will declare for. Texas can't run the ball, they have no deep threats, no intermediate game and if Ohio would have gotten to him consistently then he would have folded like a cheap hooker getting punched in the stomach by a guy with sores on his face (Thanks Joey).
Utah is now 3-0 in bowl games and once again undefeated. How they reload next year will say a lot about their program. Until then we can enjoy the likes of the man who started it all at the U of U, Urban Myer, as he completely dismantles Oklahoma. We can also hope for better play next year from BYU, ASU, and of course Boise State. Let's all hope that we can make it through another off-season of baseball and basketball. Football season is way too short!
