After losing by large margins in back-to-back games, many wondered how Utah would respond playing a tough conference game on the road. San Diego State jumped on the Utes, quickly and led 27-10 with 5 minutes to go in the half.
Unlike the previous weeks, the Utes answered the call.
Utah scored twice in the last five minutes of the half to cut the San Diego State lead to 3 points. After falling behind by ten points, Utah marched 79 yards for a TD. On the next series, they blocked a punt to take a 38-34. While the defense struggled at times, they picked off QB Ryan Lindley twice in the last 5 minutes to preserve the victory.
A game like this demonstrates the toughness of the Utah players and coaching staff. Lesser people would have quit when they fell behind early. Rather than moping, the Utes kept clawing, scrapping, and fighting until the end. Instead of dwelling on their mistakes, the team moved forward, and made big plays when it counted the most.
