Just when we were all kicking a stone bemoaning the bowl announcement of Holiday happens. Seemed like all year when we all got down in the dump and crying repemption happens.
I still rate 2018 as a whole an overwhelming succcess. Now start to finish there were things to fix along the way. Slow starts, lack of offense for time on end can not and will not happen in 2019. Utah’s chances are very clear next season.
2018 hands down best defense in Utah history though. 2015 close second 2008 moves to third.
2018 offense? I don’t think it ever met it’s full potential because of injury unfortunately. Upsetting to see WR’s get totally smacked down in the CCG. Dixon is my favorite now that Covey is hurt. Simpkins or Nacua ties for third.
I think we are being a little too harsh on the WR’s. They sucked in the CCG but they aren’t hopeless. We are three drops away from a completely different game (Enis, Thompson, Mariner). Mariner’s is unacceptable. He is too old to make those mistakes.
Enis and Thompson are super, super young. They will be stars. I think they will be completely different next year and even in the bowl game. Especially Thompson.
He is a #1 WR. He should have a monster bowl game.
Tough losses, bad calls, questionable game plans, collective negativity – all things of the past. Coach Whittingham and his staff have been masters of bowl planning. Only good vibes and good things going forward, starting on the 31st.
