      Watching the 2001 bowl game against USC while I work. That defense was just overwhelming the Trojans and Deckart was a monster in the first half at least.

      That makes 2 of us. I was 7 years old during that game so that’s my excuse

      I’m old enough to experience memory loss, but I remember that game well. Without looking it up, didn’t the Utes sack Carson Palmer like 9 times?

        I don’t recall the total but he was running for his life most of the game.

          I had to look it up. Only 4 sacks, but USC only had 1 net yard rushing. Utes destroyed them. Score didn’t indicate as much.

            Palmer had six carries for -51 net yards rushing. I believe a sack counts as a carry.  He apparently had one rush for a 3 yard gain.  So his other five carries resulted in -54 yards.  Ouch.

            That was a fun game as a Ute to watch.  But as good as our defense and running game was, it was still a tight game.  Nice win, though, against a USC team that was on the verge of greatness.

              I honestly think I mixed up the Liberty bowl in my mind. I think same results. Utah 17-0 Southern Miss. Score didn’t indicate how much their QB was running for his life. But the 10-6 Vegas Bowl was a masterpiece.

                I sat in the SC section that fine Christmas day. It was delicious.
