I enjoyed the game very much. We had a respectable number of Utah fans at the game.

UNLV moved the ball on us way too much, but Utah had quite a few very good red zone stands.

We had way too many penalties and turnovers. Of course, having Robert Johnson run that interception for a touchdown back right in front of us was great. Any nervousness about UNLV, which had had 9 unanswered points at that point, quickly disappeared. Now, much of the uneasiness for many of the fans around me had a lot to do with the spread and not the game itself. The game was never in doubt.

This seasons does remind me a lot of last season, which did feature a lot of close wins for the Utes. It would be nice if we could cut down on the mistakes.

Utah tends to play to the level of their oppponent, after watching the Utes improve slightly in each game this season, I don't the Utes played well, the turnovers and penalities kept the game closer than it should have been. But UNLV should thank all of us who attended, Utes filled 2/3rds of Sam Boyd Stadium. That is fun! Considering the Utes had to play 4 of their first 6 games on the road, the next stretch will be a nice change...there is no place like home.

Will somebody please make sure Sylvester gets his ice cream!, hahahaha, if only it were that simple.
A win is a win, doesn't matter if U dominate, or just sneak by, I will take the W any day of the week however it may come!

I thought Mike Sanford was going to blow gasket on the sidelines. Oh well, that guy is toast by the end of the season for the Rebels. It wasn't a pretty game but a win is a win.
Sylvester -please come to my house and I will make you that ice cream sundae, only one slight note, my husband is an Aggie and USU is always delivering Aggie ice cream to our home.

Cute little article Brad. But "great buffets" in Vegas? There is not a single buffet in Las Vegas that serves any better than BOTTOM shelf food.

I thought that was one of the more sloppiest games of the day between 1 team losing a coach and the other coming off a BCS season... yet Utah gave UNLV every single chance to beat them with stupid turnovers and uninspired play. Yet the Utah media, Brad Rock and others, will find any way to polish the turd that Utah spits out.

Brad. You may very well be the most irrelevant sports writer in the country.

What game did you watch? The game was over at halftime. Just ask the UNLV student section. I know, I was there.
