Washington’s 24-21 victory over Utah in the 2020 season was an emotional roller-coaster. The Utes’ win probability (according to ESPN) peaked at 95.5% just after halftime and remained over 70% with 1:09 left in the game. Nonetheless, the Dawgs once again had Utah’s number. Multiple time over the last half-decade, UW has come away from a tough game against Utah with a win that very easily could have (and in some cases should have) been a loss.
As emotional as the game was, is there anything to learn from the performance by looking back at it in the cold light of day?
