Are you football fans in Emerald City looking for a football squad to follow, now that the Weber State Wildcats have been eliminated from the Big Sky Conference race? Would you like to see at least one Utah college football team emerge as the team to follow in an important BCS conference race?Here's a highly-informative story from our home town newspaper which we lodge here for all frustrated Utah college football fans:
That's right, WCF peeples! The now-not-so-lowly University of Utah (7-4, 4-4), which started out its inaugural conference season with four (count-em, 4) PAC-12 conference losses... will be playing for the Pac-12 Championship upon the happening of these contingencies:
- Utah beats Colorado (highly likely)
- USC beats UCLA (dang near a sure thing)
- California beats Arizona State (the unknown factor)
Keep your fingers (and toes) crossed, Utah football fans.
Update 11/26/11 4:53 p.m.: Utah gets its ass whooped in its own RES Home Stadium by the worst team in the Pac-12 (Colorado) in close game, wheerin field goal kickerColeman Peterson muffed not one, not two but three field goals.
Ironically, last week's Pac-12 Special Teams Player of the Week now becomes this week's "goat."
Better luck next year O my Utah Utes.
Update 11/26/11 6:30 a.m.: The Salt Lake Tribune is all over the post-game story:
