I think you’re giving Wilson way to much credit. He’s just not a good quarterback.

If I remember right, the defensive line was fairly depleted (I’m not sure about any key player in particular). Of course, the pundits and announcers didn’t really mention that much. All I remember is them going on and on about Alabama losing one of their best offensive lineman. Despite the “depleted” d-line, Utah kicked the crap out of them upfront. It was a thing of beauty.

Football: Marshall Faulk (1993) & Steve Young (1982)

Basketball: John Havlicek (#29 all-time NBA) and Jerry Lucas (#72 all-time NBA) in the Nielsen Fieldhouse in 1959. Utah beat Ohio St. 97 to 92.

Erroll Tucker – In 1985, he led the nation in kick and punt returns. He, also, had two or three pick sixes. He was electric.

Britain Covey – Dude was a baller and a really nice guy. It felt like he played for 13 years at Utah and he still had a year of eligibility left.

Eric Weddle – He did everything.

Luther Ellis – Great leader and put Utah on the map defensively in the early 90s.

Honorable mentions: Alex Smith, Kareem Leary, Shakey Smithson, Ty Jordan, Devin Lloyd, Mike Fouts, Kevin Dyson, Louie Sakoda, Mitch Wishnowski, Quinton Ganther, Barry Sims, Reggie Dunn, Dustin Hensel, Sheldon Deckart, Matt Gay, Tom Hackett and . . . Manny Hendrix, CJ Cron, Kyle Kuzma and Andre Miller (LOL).

Every BYU loss since the 1998 Kanashiro doink. 

The 2010 TCU game sucked. 

2022 & 2023 Rose Bowls

Everything came crashing down in the 3rd quarter of the 2018 Holiday Bowl v. Northwestern.

1992 Copper Bowl v. Washington State (Yergenson missed a short kick to tie it at the end.)

If I remember right, Utah was in the running for a Bowl game (the Utes hadn’t been to a bowl game since ’64) in 1985 and then we went to Colorado State and lost 21-19. I believe we had a chance to kick a field goal to win it at the end, but not dice.

Just a few of my favorites:

1978 Utah v. BYU

1993 Utah v. San Diego St. w/ Marshall Faulk

1993 Utah @ BYU 

1994 Utah @ #12 Colorado St. 

1994 Utah v. #15 Arizona (Freedom Bowl)

1996 Utah v. #20 Kansas

2001 Utah v. USC (Las Vegas Bowl)

2003 Utah @ BYU (3 – 0  broke their consecutive game scoring streak)

7. Emily Venters recently ran (3/31/23) the 6th fastest women’s 10k (31:48) in NCAA history. 

8. It’s always a good time to be a Ute. 

Gotta give it up to the track runners. That is not an easy sport.

Dameon Hunter had great 2001. He just wasn’t around long enough to accumulate bigger career stats. 

[Ute95]

Ernest Boyd, Robert Johnson & Eric Weddle.

I was at that game as well. We were going crazy on those old wooden bleachers in the north end zone. Not a lot of people stuck around for that great finish.
