I wouldn’t trade the Utah win for a Kansas win. But when you’re only a little better than most of your competition, you’re almost certain to have some setbacks. Fortunately, we only had two. There were a couple of times we snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. And when we were 9-0 after the Utah game, it was easy to believe we were destined to go 12-0.
