OMG! What a game! I loved everything about it except for the 2 missed field goals and the bend but don't break defense in the 4th quarter. Oh, I also didn't like the super extreme run, run, run play calling after we went up 2 scores.
However...everything else? YEAH BABY!!!
Greg Bell...another 100 + yard game + 2 TDs (119 yards)
The Philly Special in OT. WOW!
Byrd 100 yard Kickoff return for a TD
Our defense smacking around their QB and RB
Lucas Johnson's feet - 87 yards running
Araiza's punts 51.4 average
Hawkins Interception
Defense only gave up 70 rushing yards
Start 3-0 Again!
Aztecs 7-2 against the Pac 12 Since 2016
Utah loses a rare OOC game - We beat an upper tier PAC 12 team (2 weeks ago they were ranked 21)
SDSU 33 / UTAH 31 FINAL
Way to go guys!
Go Aztecs!

It should have never gotten to that! I agree. However...it DID show the resilience of the Aztecs. The mentality to not fold when up 2 scores and then blow the lead, so that's good at least. Hey, in the end we still won. Go Aztecs! |

It looked like the defense got tired, lots of missed arm tackles, esp on that slippery backup QB. Can't imagine he won't be the starter going forward.
I didn't like the run-heavy offense but part of it was field position, and we'd had some good runs. Just think the coaches were more confident in the ground game.

Utah could still theoretically win the pac# South! LMAO.

Well, 5-0 is a definite possibility before the Aztecs hit the MW “powerhouses”.
Big win tonight!!

Currently watching the Fresno State vs UCLA game on the Pac 12 network. Watching the scores scrolling at the bottom of the screen, and they have shown every Pac 12 score EXCEPT for the SDSU vs Utah score. Not once have they shown the final score from the SDSU vs Utah game. They are showing the score from every Pac 12 game EXCEPT the SDSU vs. Utah game. Why is that?  |

I think I was a bit overly negative. Phil Steele thinks pretty highly of Utah.

I also noticed that, obviously the PAC 12 already dropped Utah out of the conference. Yes, I watched for 10 minutes or so and Utah vs Aztecs was never posted!! Butt Heads!! |

They’re showing it on the scroll now. You need to give a little time to get it on there, it doesn’t happen in real time. I’m sure they weren’t in a huge hurry to get it up there |

Phil Steele thinks pretty highly of Utah this year. Picked to finish second in the South Division of the PAC with a good defense. We did well to win but we simply must have a better passing game. Lack of passing yards is going to kill us.

With this win I think our attendance will gradually increase, but after the Towson State game. I can see about 10K+ for the New Mexico game. I'm sure the fans will be curious to see how Rocky's UNM defense has progressed.

Hey, in the end we still won. Go Aztecs! Oh yeah! Old Aztecs before Hoke's first era lose in the first OT after playing it shell-shocked. |

I think the biggest area to work on is coaching philosophy, how can you dial down BOTH your offense and defense at the same time and not get the type of comeback we experienced? We had a gameplan and somehow it went in the toilet. That UTAH QB who came in had an entirely different defense to play against. But it was a victory.
Too exciting at times.

To true, my sons texted just this, old Aztecs would have folded. Hoke=Toughness!
GO AZTECS!!

It should have never gotten to that! Greg Bell's fumble had a lot to do with it, also. Oldie Out |

The bottom line is we are 3-0 with 2 wins over the Pac-12, one of which was with our backup QB. If you said we would be 3-0 to start the season, we would all be VERY happy. So let's be very happy!

I think after watching them against NMSU, I was pessimistic about their season. But they have improved in areas each week. They will need to pass at some point.

I'm sure the fans will be curious to see how Rocky's UNM defense has progressed. Hope it progresses more than it had by last night. A 34-0 rout against Texas A&M. Fire Rocky! |

The 15 yard targeting penalty against McMorris also helped get the Utes "off the hook" and led to a field goal.
