Maybe Max Hall was at least partially right in his post game comments, “(The Utes) didn’t deserve to win!” Sure the Ute offense scored 17 fourth quarter points and tied up the game in the final minute to send it into overtime. Sure the Ute defense held Hall and the Cougar offense scoreless for the final 25 minutes of regulation.

Not to mention the career night by Ute kicker Joe Phillips, who booted 5 field goals including a kick in overtime and a kick to send it to overtime. But, too many mistake from players and coaches in the first three quarters proved to be the demise of Utah desire to win once again in Provo.

Coaching decision? Sure. Look at the decision of the Utes have quarterback Jordan Wynn, who was struggling early, throw the ball on a 3rd and 24 with under a minute left in the half. The decision to not run the ball and the clock, results in a Wynn interception that the Cougars turned into 3 points with four seconds on the clock.
