While Ute fans are celebrating what happened last night as not only did we survive on the Palouse but somehow Arizona beat Arizona St., the events of five weeks ago are just as important. Five weeks ago, Mike Stoops was fired and Utah was still breaking in a QB who was headed to Nebraska-Omaha. While we got lit up by Cal that weekend, what happened in Tucson is bearing huge fruit for us now.
Tim Kish was named interim head coach at Arizona less that 10 days before. With no one expecting anything and Rick Neuheisal in the middle of saving his job, Arizona came out on a warm Thursday night and kicked UCLA’s ass up and down the field.
Of course Utah had to do A LOT OF work from that day. After being blown out by Cal, Utah has won four straight. But without Arizona’s win five weeks ago and their miracle in Tempe last night, Utah wouldn’t be so close to the dream of the Pac-12 title game. So Arizona this is for you.
