Utes are haunted — and hopeful — about the way they’ve battled Washington the past two seasons

Even when one of Utah's football games against Washington ends well, something goes wrong.

The Utes have competed favorably with the Huskies each of the past three seasons, winning once and losing twice in games that got away from them in the final minutes. “It’s something that should give us confidence,” said Utah coach Kyle Whittingham, anticipating Saturday night’s meeting with No. 10 Washington at Rice-Eccles Stadium.

There's that angle, and then there's the haunting feeling of the way those last two games ended for Utah. With four minutes left in each contest, the Utes had the ball and either were tied or leading.
