Utah Utes football: Louie Louie Sakoda kicks field goal to win it as time expires

First of all, a short kickoff after going up 8 points.
Then on their final drive, OSU's incomplete pass, run out of bounds, another incomplete pass out of bounds and a 30 yard kick.
BYU could have score 21 points during the last two minutes against OSU.
its sad that they have to rely on their kicker
And as for you Ute-haters, c�mon guys--- tonight�s incredible comeback HAS to be a dagger to the gut of all the BCS (especially the PAC-10) elitists. Who from the MWC�even the staunchest of the anti-Utes---could possibly not be proud of how this great Utah team took a big breath, set their positions with 1:48 remaining and down by 8, gritted their teeth, did a �tool check� of what they had to work with, and then systematically dismantled a very good OSU team that had just taken apart #1 the week before? GREAT JOB, UTAH! I�m looking forward to seeing both of our great Utah schools in the Top 10 going into the final game!
Did either team have any offense?
The penalty on that first two-point conversion try at the end was not a good call because of the position of the ref who threw the flag. It was a poorly thrown pass and clearly uncatchable, except of course to the ref who could not see that but still managed to find his yellow flag way after the play ended.
I agree with go utes at 10:36 but more like a 28 point loss to the Cougars. However, first things first. The Utes will need to step it up a few notches to get past TCU.
BIAS comment. Nice try."
Do ya think so, there Sherlock?
(just some comic relief, go gougs
Some Utah fans are so clueless they'll rag on BYU for playing the same team that Utah beat a couple weeks ago.
Next, they'll be ragging on BYU for scheduling that powderpuff team up on the hill.
stay the heck off the board. Its utah fans to cheer toight. You guys got a big break with a lousy call in the win over washington, we got a correct call with the win over oregon.
go utes
The PI call tonight was literally for the game, made by a Mtn West official, in favor of the home team, judgement call, etc.
I didn't see the game, just followed it online, but still wanted to point out your flawed logic in comparisons.
Bottom line is: I agree with you 100% on Louie and our opinions.
Keep winning Utes, even if by a whisker, at home, against unranked opponents! We both are best off if we're undefeated on Nov 22nd!
Lucky your radio comes in that well.
Dude, I listened to the game on my morse code receiver, and I could tell it was phony.
Just goes to show that BJ needs two tries to make the big play. That ball was thrown 5 feet behind the player.
Game to the officials.
Ute fans actions spoke volumes about where they feel their team stacks up compared with the unranked pac 10.
My reaction as a BYU fan was a simple sigh of relief that the second best team in our conference towed the line and found a way to squeek by on what they were supposed to do! (although it was with officiating help)
Utah will move up in the rankings and could be close to the top 10 by Sunday depending on who loses besides South Florida.
Congrats Utes from this avid BYU fan!
You earned this one, the hard way, but you earned it nonetheless.
I have to say this about Johnson; I'm glad he's your quarterback, and not ours. His spotty play would drive me nuts. Pick six INTs, fumbles, overthrown receivers, sacks because he holds onto the ball too long, and just generally poor decision making. But, he did engineer those two last minute drives. I'll give him that.
Looking forward to November.
Utah DESERVES to be ranked in the top 20, they were 5-0 and are now 6-0. Get a clue people.
BYU also deserves to be ranked in the top 20, they are 4-0 and after Friday will be 5-0.
There could be an argument made as to which team deserves to be ranked higher right now, Utah would win it due to the schedule thus far but BYU came in ranked high and they deserve their top 10 ranking.
The bottom line is this....who cares? Both teams are ranked high, both are undefeated and lets hope on Novemeber 22nd they both still are. It will be the most storied matchup in this rivalry, period!
BTW, #10 South Florida lost tonight so it looks like Utah will move up at least one spot...They will move up clueless people out their.
Great win UTES. Way to come through in the end there BJ!
I was worried, but it keeps the hope of an epic game alive.
A top 10 ranked team against a top 5 ranked team at the very end of the year for the last game can only be a good thing. Neither team would drop much in rankings with a loss and the team that wins, wins big... perhaps with all the upsets going on... it could be really big.
I hope both teams the best until that fatefull day in November
I can see why the fans would storm the field.
I wonder if the stadium will be as quiet Nov. 22 as the last time BYU played at RES?
What a great finish. OSU did to you what they did to USC, but you guys still pulled out a win, a huge win at that. This will surely bode well with poll voters. And with Pitt knocking off #10 USF, look to see yourselves in the top 14.
It's nice to see Utah and BYU receive the recognition they deserve. Utahns, be proud!
All you BwhineU fans complaining about the officiating?
Oh how soon we forget...
Great game otherwise!
Well then certainly dont forget the team that went undefeated and won a National Championship!!!! (ill give you one hint, its not utah st.
...and all the rest of the Utah fans that think this is Quality because of what OSU did last week.
Do we really need to pull out that "Six Degrees of Separation Kevin Bacon Ute Logic" again?
Different weeks, different games.
Take the win the officials gave you, storm the field, and see ya'll in November.
A couple of observations:
1. This was the first time I've seen the utes play this year and I've got to honestly say they looked TERRIBLE!!!!! How are you #15???
2. You did get bailed out by the refs. You benefited from a horrible quarterback that happened to throw the ball on the other side of the DB rather than to his receier
3. You're lucky you have Sakoda
4. It would be an atrosity if you didn't move down a few spots after that pitiful performance
5. Most importantly do you guys think you are part of the big sky or something? Who rushes the field after they win a game they were SUPPOSED to dominate. Just when I thought you made the conference look good you go and make us look like the BCS's little brother that finally won a game against big bro.
6. The team you played tonight was NOT the team that beat USC be honest with yourselves
Storm the feild,
Really?
congrats Utes. Louie is the best kicker in the MWC.
But we finally have a story in the Deseret News that will get as many posts as a story about BYU!!!
We have fans now!!!
