Sinking the Crimson Tide




Utes win! Utes win! Utes win! Wow, what a game. Utah jumped all over Alabama in the first quarter. Three touchdowns in what seemed like five seconds. Bama had no answer to the hurry up offense the Utes threw at them. I'll admit that I got a little nervous when they came back and scored on a Utah turnover at the beginning of the second half to come within four points. But Utah didn't sweat it, they just came right back and answered to the tune of a 28-17 lead. Their defense was, as Mike Tyson would put it, "impregnable". The Crimson Tide had only allowed 15 sacks all season long, and the Utah defense racked up 8 sacks against them in one game! You can argue that Alabama was without offensive tackle Andre Smith, but what the U did was still amazing. An Andre Smith-less Alabama only allowed 2 sacks to Florida, one of the top teams in the nation. Utah tallied 6 more sacks than a BCS-Championship Bowl bound Gator squad. Moreover, Florida beat Alabama by 11 points (31-20). If they end up beating Oklahoma and winning the national championship, shouldn't Utah at least tie for the number one spot, if not be the sole possessors? A Utah squad beat former no. 1 Alabama by 14, while Florida only managed to defeat the Crimson Tide by 11. Think about it folks, it makes sense. In the mean time, congratulations to Utah, and screw the freaking BCS!!!

I didn't get to see the game because I had to go to a stupid school thing. I was super happy when I heard about it though. That is awesome. I also think the BCS is a huge load of crap. I can't believe they haven't gotten rid of it yet. Hopefully those idiots will get some sense knocked into them soon so we can enjoy some real college football playoffs in the future.
