In what can only be described as an incredible turn of events, the Utah Utes are suddenly in solo second place in the Pac-12 conference standings. There have been several times where it seemed like a good bet to just give up the Utes season completely, and every single time, Utah has managed to turn it around to an extent.
There was the time when Utah started off the season by losing half their nonconference games, including losses to mid-major programs like Hawaii and BYU. There was the moment Utah lost to Arizona and Washington, giving the appearance they wouldn’t be able to compete with elite Pac-12 competition.
