One of the depressing things about Saturday’s game (of the many) is that Utah has essentially the same offense as it did last year, but performed much worse. Same coaches and mostly all the same players. So either UW got better (likely true to some extent) or Utah’s offense got worse (also likely true). I’ve said it already, but to me it was not one particular player or coach that blew it on Saturday, it was a combination of lots of unforced errors, by multiple players, all occurring at terrible times.
I am not saying the offense looked good, but if some of those drops get caught, if some of the wild throws are on target, and if the turnovers get cut down, the game changes drastically. Again, you can always say “what if” and I am not saying the offense looked good, nor am I expecting miraculous catches or throws, but there are some very simple things that if executed change the whole feel of the game. For example, without that tickytack targeting call, one of UW’s touchdown drives ends with an INT, and if the D lineman doesn’t fumble out of bounds, we get another TD. Ultimately, little things can have a huge effect on a game. Utah did not execute (or, get a break) on the little things. A comedy of errors.
