I made a fairly large wager on Utah -3. So go Utes.
Whenever I see people say UConn can't run/recruit for the spread etc. I say go look at freaking Utah. They're more isolated than we are.
You made me go look @ their roster - geez, 40+ kids from State of Utah alone (population of 3mil) 35+ kids from State of CA.
That is why you stay up watching this stuff. Great performance from Utah and huge guts going on 4th down and playing for the win. Such a better decision than kicking the FG which is only good 60% of the time and trying to win a coin flip in OT.
It's pretty crazy how well they've continued to coach up the Utah talent. Obviously the California players help a ton, but they're finding diamonds in the rough too. It's a model that we need to try and replicate - there's talent in CT and NY/New England. Then get those extra gamechangers from NJ/PA/etc.
