most difficult place to play in the west. Beating #3 Oregon and USC back to back at RES only build that perception.

If the folks at Utah claim it's the elevation and/or the crowd, who cares? Whatever they're doing it's working.

I think it's the intimidation factor when utah gets momentum, the crowd gets behind them and the opposing team starts losing their focus or confidence.

Then perhaps the perception that elevation is a factor late in the game creeps in. That's exactly why Utah has that sign. Let 'em know.

Whether the elevation matters scientifically, I think it plays a role pschyologically.
