Haven’t seen it discussed but it was cool that carrington was there in Utah gear. I also loved the opening kickoff call – if we avoid the first trip there was one man to beat for a td. Good chance it goes the distance. Really liked the mentality. I expect cu has a similar super aggressive mentality this week.
I wonder if they tried to do the fake Covey punt return, like they did in Oregon in ’15. I thought I saw Covey act like he was receiving a punt only the punt was fielded by another Ute away from Covey – I forget who.
I am not totally sure this was the case as it happened quickly and I only saw a split-second of it.
I personally didn’t like that trick play. Too high of a risk, with a new QB and new RB to be pinned back could have been a disaster. It wasn’t, so all is well. But that was not the best time to try that IMHO.
