San Antonio • In the buildup to the Alamo Bowl, one theme clearly has emerged: Utah’s football players and coaches are tired of talking about the Pac-12 championship game.
They’ve had to live with that 37-15 loss to Oregon, costing themselves not only a conference title but an opportunity to play on a bigger stage than meeting Texas on New Year’s Eve. It’s also true that fans and the media tend to dwell on the previous game, and that’s magnified by having three weeks between kickoffs.
Utah’s offensive line, which had its worst game of the season against Oregon, didn’t spend any more time than usual reviewing that game with position coach Jim Harding, left tackle Darrin Paulo said.
