I actually thought they had a really good showing on the road against a quality SEC team.
That said, when they come into RES and lose in a couple weeks, guess what the national narrative will be? “Since Washington started 1-2, they obviously were just paper tigers and aren’t really that good” That will end up diminishing Utah’s accomplishment significantly.
You are absolutely right, and it will not matter.
Utah will beat Washington. This team has a legitimate shot at winning every game.
It’s completely up to them.
Win and all will be well in Ute-ville.
