Utah was pretty awesome in two of the three phases on Saturday night in their loss to Colorado. In a game that meant very little to Utah, the Utes just couldn’t get over the hump, in a very symbolic way, against the Buffs.
Let’s talk about the various sides of the ball, starting with special teams. This was an awesome game by special teams, as they were directly responsible for 10 of Utah’s points, including a Boobie Hobbs punt return for a touchdown, which opened up the scoring on the game. Later in the game, Kyle Fulks returned a kick off down to the Colorado 4 yard line, but Utah couldn’t punch it in (more on this in a moment).
