Back to the topic of more points is better than less points.
" Selection committee chair Hunter Yurachek said their résumés are 'almost identical,' but Utah was 'above UCLA and just a better team when we watch them play.' Yurachek said Utah is 'very balanced offensively. They've got a dynamic quarterback in [Devon] Dampier that runs that offense. He's a runner. He's a dynamic passer. They have a running game. They have receivers. And then they're really good on defense.'
I think most of us can agree that we left points on the board against Minnesota (I mean, some of us won't agree to anything - Let's try it. Here's a declarative statement: The sky is blue. Talk amongst yourselves). So, in addition to Minnesota, we combined for ..... 3 points vs. Nevada and Michigan State in the fourth quarter.
3 points in 30 minutes of football. Against two crappy teams.
I'm here for the outrageous proposition that if we kept scoring touchdowns in the 4th quarter against Nevada and MSU,(instead of basically shutting it down - unless you think 3 points in 30 minutes is the best we can do against those teams), then Mr. John Jacob Dingleberry, or whatever that guy's name is, would have a hell of a lot harder time saying UCLA and Utah's resume's are "almost identical," but Utah looks like a better team - four playoff seeds better. Almost identical, but four seeds better.
Now, there is a chatboard phenomena where people act like what you post about most, is what you care about most. That's stupid. What you post about most is what you disagree about most. I disagree with the proposition that more points aren't better than less points.
I could not be a bigger fan of Chez. If you mined my synapses and designed the perfect football coach based thereon, it would be Chez. I love this team, and barring injuries, I think the best is yet to come. I think they are gradually accessing more of the playbook with TD Tyler.
