The Utes are both unlucky and undefeated — but something has to give.
Utah Utes defensive end Jonah Elliss and Utah defensive tackle Junior Tafuna celebrate after Ellis's sack on UCLA Bruins quarterback Dante Moore , in the final Bruin drive in the 4th quarter, in PAC-12 football action between the Utah Utes and the UCLA Bruins, at Rice-Eccles Stadium, on Saturday, Sept. 23, 2023.I really wanted to complain about the misfortunes dumped all over the Utes on Saturday, few of them their own fault.
The quarterback warmed up on Saturday at Rice-Eccles, and next thing, as had been reported just before, he would be and was in street clothes. With the Bruins averaging just shy of four sacks a game thus far, it was clear they would do what every team should do against an opposing QB — pressure him, give him the creeps, make him second-guess every initial guess.
It wasn’t just that the Bruins couldn’t score, they couldn’t move the ball. Nobody does that to a Chip Kelly offense, but Utah, nobody’s nobody, did.
