#2140 not the result I was hoping for

I've been excited all week for Friday night. Why? Because Utah was playing in the PAC12 conference title game. A win be the first conference championship for the school and a trip to the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day. That's some heady stuff! I listened to pre-game radio stuff and even left work a bit early so I could get dinner going before the game started so I wouldn't be interrupted.

The game was not beautiful. It was a defensive battle all the way. The score was tied 3-3 at halftime. The only touchdown was scored by the defense - the Washington defense. The final score was 10 - 3.

The game ended on a bad no-call for Utah. The Utah receiver was downfield and the ball was coming his way. The defended visibly bumped the receiver from behind, causing the receiver to stumble and not be able to catch the ball. That's pass interference and it should have been a penalty on the Washington defense. I'm not saying that the no call is what caused Utah to lose by any means, but the play should have been called.

So no conference championship this year. No Rose Bowl either. It was still a great season and there will be a bowl game late in December. I'll watch that game. For now, though, college football season is over, so I'll turn my attention to Utah Jazz basketball with a side eye on the NFL.
