Barnes couldn’t throw to his first read because they were covered.
Credit the Zona defense.
Too many first string players out. 1/3 of our defense was out just this week. That doesn’t count other out for year injuries that occurred since fall camp. The team battled hard this year, but you can’t lose that many first line players without feeling the results. I know, “next man up”, is the saying, but everyone can see the effects of losing that many starters. Hopefully we can patch together enough players to beat CU next week. I’d rather lose to UA than CU.

I get your logic and I don’t necessarily disagree. I’m not sure what the college rules are for the timeouts taken off a rebound. I know the pros get to inbound at mid court, is it the same for college? If it is the same, then calling a time out is the correct choice. If they would have had to inbound at the end line, then I think they made the correct choice. Again, 20/20 hindsight, maybe they would have got a better shot and maybe not.

Miami, I think that not calling a TO gave them a better chance of winning. They only had 11 seconds to get a shot off, Gabe drove down the middle with Oregons two best defenders in front of him. In 20/20 hindsight perhaps he should have shot when he passed the free throw line, but the two defenders were heading right at him. I think passing to Ben C, who was wide open, was the best chance to get the win, unfortunately his shot was a little long. Taking a timeout would have given Oregon time to set up the defense, making us take more time to get off a shot. Ben had a good look, but just barely missed.
I think that the team showed a lot of fight to give themselves a very good chance to win, the shot was the best shot at the time to get the win. IMHO I think that calling a TO probably would not have given them a better shot especially without BC in the game.

TG, your assumption that if after spring practice there is no clear QB1 or QB2 there is a failure in coaching. I totally disagree, QB competition can and should be very close, if the recruiting results were, for example, 3 four star or 3 three star, or a mix, the coaches expect a close competition and if there are injuries the best QB may not be found during spring. We saw that happen last year. When there’s a returning starter who is injured (Cam) it makes the competition even more complicated. Rose won the spring but was injured in the fall, now the coaches look at who is the best of the rest. Do you go with the most experienced or gamble on the most athletic. Practice sometimes helps make the choice easier, however it doesn’t always work out, after all you are working with 3rd, 4th, 5th, or lower experienced QB’s because during the spring or fall practices these players don’t get a lot of snaps.
I think that from the time that Utah joined the PAC-12 until now the improvement in the team was incredible. There were people saying that the Utes would be perpetually bottom dwellers. I think and hope that this year was an aberration, I think going into the B12 the Utes will do just fine.

You still have the TDS to watch a bowl game.
What, not enough wins you say. Well, read a good book.

Don’t waste you limited brain cells making statements like this.

We didn’t get to see the guy that was the chosen backup, Rose, assuming that he is no good is a bit of a stretch. And there’s Issac Wilson coming in.

A broken ankle of leg? While season ending, it would have a better outcome than torn ligaments.
