Nothing like that will happen Saturday at Rice-Eccles Stadium, where Falk takes another shot at a team coached by one of the Whittingham brothers.
Washington State’s visit to Utah is not exactly a playoff game, but it is meaningful. The Utes (5-4) need one more victory for bowl eligibility. The way the math works, considering they’re unlikely to win next week at Washington, the Utes have to beat WSU or Colorado at home. The Cougars (8-2) are trying to stay in the Pac-12 North race.
And those goals will converge in Falk’s only college appearance in Utah, as a function of the Pac-12′s scheduling rotation.
