Utah was terrific, wasn’t it? Offensive coordinator Andy Ludwig carved up the Oregon defense, one play at a time. The Utes offensive line put a cleat in the FieldTurf and drove the Ducks toward the mountains. Mario Cristobal promised the ABC audience before kickoff that this Utah-Oregon game would be a “fistfight.” It was. Unfortunately, Oregon never threw a punch and got knocked out of the College Football Playoff race in a game played in front of 52,724 Salt Lake
“Oregon’s punter Tom Snee could have kicked the ball out of bounds there. He could have hesitated, let a second or two tick off, and then hammered a worm-burner toward Kyle Whittingham on the sideline. Instead he punted the thing away and Covey dashed down the left sideline and broke Oregon’s back with a 78-yard return for a touchdown.”
The Oregon decision to punt to the dangerous Britain Covey trailing 21-0 with 11 seconds before halftime will forever be known as, “The Great Mistake by Salt Lake.”
They even gave it a name!
In all seriousness though, Canzano is a good dude and does awesome work.
