Utes 25; Wolverines 23

Utah upsets Michigan at home
The Utes put the game on ice early; then play solid defense for a big upset win

From the Salt Lake Tribune (two minutes ago):
ANN ARBOR, Mich. - The Utah football team opened its season with an upset road win at Michigan on Saturday.
The Utes had a 22-10 halftime lead and a 25-10 lead at the start of the fourth quarter. But the Wolverines scored two touchdowns and trailed 25-23 after missing a two-point conversion.
Then the Utah defense reasserted its dominance. The Utes stopped Michigan inside its own 20 with less than two minutes to play, getting a turnover on downs. Utah proceeded to essentially run out the clock.
Watch out, Cougars... the Utes are back on track. BCS Bowling, here we come. This Johnson kid is starting to look like a real quarterback. Louie Sakoda is definitely NFL-bound: four field goals today; one from 53 yards! And what a killer defense.

And what say our fellow Utah grads & fans about all this?

What say you, Jason W?
