Highs and Lows (or, games aren't played on paper)

Wow! The Utes knocked off two powerful, ranked opponents in back-to-back games. First, the dramatic, last second win vs. #3 BYU and then beating #24 TCU, 31-24. Awesome! But, in the season capper against little ol' Utah State (6-6), Journeyman couldn't get the guys pumped up and Utah lost, embarrassingly, 10-27. So, I guess the Holy War Boot Trophy gets split 3-ways. The Aggies shouldn't have even hung around in the game, but that's what over confidence will do to you. Oh well, at least Utah won the MWC and a bid to the Las Vegas Bowl against #17 Arizona State. The Utes lost a close one to the Devils, 24-27, but Journeyman won Coach of the Year again. He even turned down an interview at Oregon State to stay in Salt Lake City (but, don't expect him here too long if a better program, especially UGA, comes calling).

As always, you can follow Ace's career progress trough the Dynasty Tracker to the right.
