For most of the game it looked like the blackout might turn into a funeral for the Utes hopes of getting into a BCS bowl game. TCU scored 10 points right off the bat and things seemed pretty bleak for the Utes as they struggled to move the ball on offense. But the Utah defense buckled down after the 1st quarter and shut down TCU the rest of the game.
Up 10-6 deep into the 4th quarter, TCU missed 2 short field goals. With under 3 minutes left in the game and after the second missed field goal, you could feel it in the air that Utah was going to go do something they hadn't done all game - score a touchdown. They drove 70 yards and scored the winning TD with 47 seconds to spare. The crowd went crazy. We were high-fiving and hugging people we didn't know. That was the loudest and craziest I have ever seen it in Rice-Eccles Stadium.
After games like these, they let fans go down onto the field (they have no choice because the student section storms the field as soon as the clock shows 0). So we went down on the field to take in the fun atmosphere and bask in the glow of being 10-0.
The U might want to find out who these two houligans are - because I believe they pulled down the goalpost. I hope they don't make their parents pay for that!!!WHAT A FUN NIGHT!! Unbelievable win by Utah. Now we just have to take care of that pesky team down south.

Those two Anderson kids pulled down the goalpost! Shame on those kids. It's just like a couple of Ute fans to do something like that.
Furthermore, "pesky" really isn't the word I would use to describe the Power of the Wasatch. Maybe "sleeping lion". Because certainly we've been more or less sleeping these last few weeks. We had better wake up because it's going to be a doosy come November 22.
Black uniforms, black fan apparel, does this mean that Utah has finally admitted that they are the dark side?
