5th game in a row, during their inaugural season in a brand new conference that they were supposed to dominate! A loss that comes at Rice Eccles and at the hands of BYU on another dramatic ending AND for the second straight loss to the Cougars, all in front of an angry fan base, their largest crowd ever and a huge class of potential recruits but in an almost unthinkable twist of additional terrible misfortune you also wind up losing arguably your best player on the team to a devastating season ending injury, which might be the worst part of all of this.
All of that and then add in that their head coach looked absolutely terrible at the end of the game, and their AD created a PR nightmare that put the entire school in the most negative public light since the cold fusion debacle and to make matters even worse you now have a criminal investigation trying to find the stupid Utah fan who assaulted the BYU cheerleading coach knocking her unconscious. Oh and your new conference just fined you 40k, and the other 15 schools universally dislike you and hope you exit the conference as soon as possible.
Did I miss anything?
I mean honestly, has their been a worst day for the Utah Football program?
