Around the Pac-12: Week 6

Utah 40, Stanford 21

The red zone defensive touchdown giveth, the redzone defensive touchdown taketh. Two weeks after stealing a win in Eugene thanks to a game swinging defensive touchdown, Stanford suffers the reverse fate against Utah. If Stanford converts that drive for a touchdown, there’s a pretty decent chance that this game is entirely up for grabs into the final minutes and seconds.

Still, this game shows how fragile the Stanford offense is - without Bryce Love and a functional running game, all Stanford has is the ‘3 flies up’ offense, and it was only a matter of time until the defense started winning some of those jump balls.
