Six-and-oh, and the room is still ringing the shame bell over a three-point escape in Boulder.
The emotional rollercoaster
Utah fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Utah went to Boulder, won 27-24, and moved to 6-0, which by most accounting is a good week. The fanbase did not treat it as one. The turning point was whatever sequence of clock management and fourth-down choices turned a comfortable afternoon into a three-point escape, prompting the measured verdict that there were "some real boneheaded decisions made in this one," and a louder chorus of "SHAME" ringing through the postgame thread. Six wins, zero losses, and a fanbase already bracing for the week the margin disappears entirely.
What fans said
“Some real boneheaded decisions made in this one.”
