The Holy War is one of the best games in college football. Featuring two generally good teams in Utah and BYU and fan bases that are sometimes crazy enough that they put Florida State Twitter to shame. Rivalry games are always unpredictable in college football, but this game had so many moments of insanity. It was fun and thrilling, and it was also stressful and frustrating. So is the nature of college football, and that why we love it. The game ended 20-19 in favor of Utah, after BYU opted to go for two instead of kicking an extra point with less than 20 seconds left Verone McKinley III Jersey. The win extended Utah Holy War win streak to six games. That win is incredibly important to the Ute season, just as the loss is devastating to many Cougar fans. However, there were more winners and losers beyond just what the final score shows us. Let find out who they are. Since you have to bring people down before you can lift them up, let start with maybe one of the biggest losers of the night.Loser: Confidence in Utah OffenseThis is why we can say nice things about Utah. After a solid offensive showing in Week 1, there was a lot of optimism the Utes could build on that performance against BYU. Instead, the Utes didn just take a step back Jacob Breeland Jersey, they forgot several of the basic principles of offense, like hold onto the ball, or don throw into triple coverage. The Utes, as you are well aware of by now, turned the ball over six times. There were three interceptions thrown by Williams, a muffed punt and two fumbles. It got to the point where I was getting nervous every time Williams dropped back to pass or the ball was handed off to anyone. So basically every offensive play in the second half. Joe Williams was equally disastrous Mike Irwin Jersey. He only had 10 carries for 26 yards and was responsible for one of the fumbles, which was already the second of his season. Don be surprised if he has a dramatically reduced roll going forward. Troy McCormick has looked very effective and Zack Moss has been moved to the top of the depth chart to start this week of practice.
