Another game, another Wynn for the Utes

As you might have noticed, I spelled "win" different. In case you (and by you, I assume the only people reading this blog are Tom, my aunt and the Ol' Man Dr Joe) don't know, the starting QB for the Utes is Jordan Wynn. Coincidence that our QB's last name is Wynn? Or is fate just a red wearing Ute fan?

In any event, Mr Wynn was out for the past two games with a hurt thumb after leading the Utes to a victory opening night. He sat out the past two games, only to return versus San Jose St this weekend. The beauty pageant that is college football requires that a team beat the crud out of a lessor opponent. So that's what the Utes did, winning by 53 points. It was such a beat down, that I came up with 2 new ideas for how the Utes could have switched things up and still won (the Utes opponent did something rather inept, please see the awards for additional details - that my friends is a teaser...boo ya):
  1. The defense and offense switch sides, featuring the Utes safety at QB, theme music and all.
  2. The Utes let the 2010 champion rugby team play instead, using the same rules.

Now, for my favorite section of the blog...THE MADE UP AWARDS:

  • The "I'm so amazing, the opponent punts the ball into their own teammate's back instead of punting to me (near the end of the video)" award: Shaky Smithson
  • "My thumb's fine, thanks for asking": Jordan Wynn
  • "You may have never heard of me before, but I'm fast": Reggie Dunn
  • The Wood Family award (in honor of my Aunt and fellow Ute): Joe and Dave Kruger
  • The jersey I'd like to own: Reggie Topps (recipient of the awesome "punt in the teammate's back - again, near the end")

As always...GO UTES!

The Utes will rise more in the polls after the coming 'bye' week than they did by beating San Jose State.

I'm pretty sure that in the time it took me to go into the kitchen and pour myself a drink that the Utes scored about 21 points, and 1 of those TDs was scored by a player running backwards for 35 yards.

Keep your eye open for Griff "I am the future" Robles. He is certain to be a solid fake award winner.
