Grading out the Utes’ performance in the Holiday Bowl
Kirby Lee-USA TODAY SportsMinutes 1-30 were great for the most part on Monday night in San Diego. Minutes 30-60? Not so much. As I write this I feel as if I’ve said it no more than 10 times already this season (I’ll set the over/under at 8.5) but this really was a tale of two halves from the Utes as they took on Northwestern in a matchup of Pac-12 and Big 10 runner-ups. The Utes got off to a tremendous start, jumping out to a 20-3 halftime lead before squandering it away in the third quarter as Northwestern came back to take a 31-20 advantage. So like I said, it was a tale of two halves for Utah but I only have one grade to give out to each unit.
