Gordon Monson: Was Utah a quality team that lost its way at the end? Or a team that was made to look better than it really was?

Back in August, the Utah quarterback predicted the Utes would have an extraordinary season, saying “the sky’s the limit” for this team.

Their deck dropped oh-so low on Tuesday night at the Alamo Bowl, where the Utes limbo’ed down to a 38-10 defeat at the hands of the Texas Longhorns. In Huntley’s final game, he was neither efficient, nor comfortable, passing for a mere 126 yards. By game’s end, he was just beaten, left alone by a run game that deserted him — Zack Moss gained only 57 yards — and an offensive line that could not protect him.
