If Isaac doesnt steal that ball at the bottom of the pile. In fact, I think we lose by multiple TDs. After a 9o yard drive, losing the ball at the goal line would have been absolutely devastating.
Utah wasn’t going to be denied. So I take your hypothetical and say that Utah wins anyways. Utah would have got a scoop six. NO ONE WOULD DENY UTAH TONIGHT!
I was LITERALLY just telling my wife that I would love to have Asiata tell the story of what happened in that scrum. What was grabbed, twisted, punched, poked to get that ball.
For good insight on what happens under a pile you should read Bill Romanski’s autobiography. The stories he tells about loose ball pile ups will make you cringe.
