Up 24 at the gun and 8-0, yet the room spent the night missing Whittingham and dreading BYU.
The emotional rollercoaster
Utah fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Utah went to Cincinnati, won 49-25, moved to 8-0, and the fanbase reacted as if it had been a loss. The turning point was halftime. The top-voted fan summed it up: "1st half: hell yeah 2nd half: what the hell?" Others blamed a "cursed" fourth quarter handed to backups, or demanded the coaches be "pissed" about an "embarrassing way to handle this lead." Misery climbed from 19 to 40 after a 24-point road win. Next comes BYU, and with it the dread of "Holy War week.
What fans said
“1st half: hell yeah 2nd half: what the hell? No idea what to expect vs BYU. Can we PLEASE play a 4Q game against BYU?”
