Dressed out like Ohio State in their scarlet-and-gray throwback uniforms, the Utes went ahead on Saturday night and played like the Buckeyes, too, thumping UCLA, 49-3. En route, in whatever garb they wear, Utah’s own run to greatness — six straight wins, nine overall — barrels on.
It’s to the point now where the Utes could show up in fuchsia pumps, dusty-violet culottes, pink crop tops and purple feather boas and they’d beat the living hell out of whoever stood in their way. UCLA proved to be no exception.
A major question inside of this particular matchup had nothing to do with fashion, centering instead on the very brutish things that the Utes on defense and the Bruins on offense identify with and obsess about.
