Merry Christmas Ute Fans! SI article (Jake Curtis) picks Utah as the best of the PAC12 (SI Link)
1. Utah (3-2) – The Utes lost their first game to USC when the Trojans had two games under their belts and Utah had none, and Utah somehow let a 21-0 halftime lead slip away against Washington in the second game. But Utah won its final three games, crushing Colorado and Washington State in its last two. I’d like to see the Utes play USC again now, with Drew Lisk as the Utes’ quarterback.
Best Running Back? But if we’re picking a running back to play a game tomorrow, the selection is Utah freshman Ty Jordan. He did little in his college debut, rushing for just 32 yards against USC, but he got better as the season went on. He had more than 140 rushing yards in each of the Utes’ final three games, two of which were against teams that finished among the top five in the conference in rushing defense. He finished ninth in the country in rushing at 119.1 yards per game and his 7.2 average is mighty impressive.
