SALT LAKE CITY — Britain Covey called it a lack of identity; Kyle Whittingham said it’s a little more nuanced than that. But the result is the same: an anemic offense in back-to-back weeks and a potential upset opportunity over the 10th-ranked team wasted.
And the only people Utah has left to blame is itself.
Coming into Saturday night’s matchup against No. 10 Washington, the possibility of a loss was at least on the table for the Utes. Not that anyone would readily admit that a loss was possible, but beating top teams is always hard to do, particularly against a head coach that has had Utah’s number since he was the coach at Boise State.
