UTES 31 - OREGON 28
UTES: 6-0 on the season so far!
Sakoda boots winning field goal to finish Utes' comeback
Let's try to recap this game...it was a sold out crowd, plenty of excited fans were anxious to see this game against Oregon State, who managed to beat USC last week! Honestly...I wouldn't have said what a game if you had asked me in the 3rd Quarter when the team was just not playing the offense they are capable of. Luckily the defense was keeping them alive. Brian Johnson was just blowing it at the time; but, the game wasn't over yet! They turned things around in the 4th quarter & the excitement level was growing! But, we were still down 20-28 with just a few minutes left. We then had a great run down the field & scored a touchdown. A 2 point conversion was obviously a must here! Johnson redeemed himself here by running it in, tying the game..oh, you should have heard the crowd! Still a minute and a half to go, Oregon has the ball...our defense gets them no where, we get the ball back. Again, another great run, Sakoda kicks the field goal with 1 second left to go...WE WIN THE GAME!! The crowd went insanely crazy!! Everyone jumping, cheering, yelling, high fiving everyone in site..it was awesome! They soon swarmed the field in a riot of madness...hope nobody got hurt! :} That kind of energy just can't be matched...and that folks, would be the reason why we love the game of football!!
Little extra side note here.... per ESPN, Utah is the first team to become bowl eligible this season! Way to go Utes!!

Great recap! I thought we were going downhill, but those last couple of minutes was such an adrenalin rush. I love these kind of games..keeping you on the edge of your seat literally until the last second, and then to have your team come from behind to win. I can just imagine how exciting it was to be at the game live. So fun!
