San Antonio • The College Football Playoff semifinals were staged Saturday without Utah. If the Utes needed any reminder about the opportunity they missed, the Oklahoma-LSU game was being shown on a television screen in the back of the room while five senior defensive stars appeared during a media session at the Alamodome.
“Just seeing it on TV, it’s like, man, it would have been cool,” linebacker Francis Bernard said.
“That just ran through my mind earlier,” said defensive end Bradlee Anae, who’s convinced the Utes will have more chances to reach the Playoff in the coming years.
