Look, out on the field--it's a bird, it's a plane, it's SUPER TEAM!
OK, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but hooray for the good guys!
While you'd figure that the Utes would come out trying to prove last week's shellacking at the hands of TCU was a fluke, they just didn't bring their A game, did they?
Although early on it looked bad, didn't it? The went right down the field and scored, we couldn't do squadoosh on offense, and I was settling in to watch us get bowled over.
I'll wait to see Godfather's impression, but I believe the blocked punt was the game changer. After that, Utah more or less went away. Harrison Smith's "play of his life" interception was another great momentum stopper.
And in the second half, we snuffed them with the opening kickoff fumble recover and ensuing one play TD drive. Basically, game over at that point.
Props to the defense and special teams, who helped keep the offense out of bad field position and out of having to play from behind. Utah had averaged 41 points prior to yesterday (even with scoring only 7 last week). And they hadn't been held without a TD in 45 games.
Hopefully, our first win on Senior Day since 2007 can propel us forward to a big win at Yankee Stadium and then a date with the Trojans in the Coliseum. Interesting: in three consecutive weeks, we play in 3 of the most famous stadiums in the country. 7-5 is possible; the Trojans are definitely beatable. But let's worry about the Black Knights first.
GO IRISH!!! BEAT ARMY!!!

I agree USC is beatable if we play good that day. But you are right first we have to take care of Army. Very pleasing to see the team come out so well prepared with 2 weeks to get ready. That is how it is supposed to be. Really when you consider all the Irish injuries this is even more impressive. Quite a day.
