Utes Season Hits a Road Bump

As you've all ready heard me talk about, we were super excited for the game of the season, Our #5 Ranked Utes against #3 Ranked TCU! We just never seem to get much credit, so we had something to prove!

This was the Black Out/Camo game. The Camo was added in honor of our Military, as we were approaching Veteran's Day. 

It was cool seeing all the black in the stadium!

Here come our Utes!! 

I loved the Jersey's showing the pride in our Troops!

Let the game begin!

...and instantly, TCU takes charge! :(

My favorite current player to watch, Shaky Smithson

Still early...our boys trying to stay pumped up, despite TCU playing stronger at the moment!

And this is pretty much how the rest of the game went....

So, yea...it went from a thrilling day to a sad day as we ended up getting cremated, with a final score of 47-7, dropping us down to #15 in the Polls, and not proving what I hoped we could. I know our Ute's have got it. They just didn't bring it on the most important game of the season! What can you do...still just a game I know (though, still trying to get over it! :})

The next week they had some redemption to do against Notre Dame! We were expected to win this game, and win big (so we thought!)

Notre Dame ended up playing better than they had all year. Needless to say, the redemption wasn't happening in this game! 

Kyle Whittingham seems to be at a loss for words (as were the rest of us!). We started the season so strong, just dominating the field. I don't know what happened to our Utes; but, they were not the same team we have seen this year, that's for sure!

We take our 2nd Loss of the season, with a final score of 28-3. And we moved down the ranks quite a bit again, moving to #23 (which I realize is still good overall; but, still...) 

As I said last week, "Just like your loved ones...sometimes they disappoint you, and you don't always agree with their actions. You want to yell & scream at them and wonder what the heck they're thinking (or doing!); but, regardless, you still love them & will always be there to support them!" I'm not giving up on our team.  I will always be a True Red Fan. I just hope they wake up real soon here is all!! :}
