As the Ducks entered Salt Lake City they were on edge against the number 17 Utah Utes, as they should of been, because for the first quarter, the Ducks could not get anything moving against the Utes. The 46,000 fans made Marcus Mariota work hard to snap the ball. They had upset on their minds. I saw it run out in my head. Utah would beat us and we would be done for the playoffs, and when Utah quarterback Travis Wilson threw a 78 yard pass to wide receiver Kaelin Clay, who then beat a Duck defender to the end zone for what appeared to be a touchdown that would put Utah up by 14 in the second quarter. But what Clay forgot to do, was bring the ball with him. He dropped the ball for celebration 2 feet before crossing the end zone. As the crowd and the whole Utah nation celebrated, Ducks defender Joe Walker picked up the ball and ran down to the opposite side of the field, and with a herd of Ducks, scored. After that embarrassing play the Ducks would score 24 unanswered points.The Ducks would not only win the game but seal the Pac-12 North to go to the Pac-12 championship. However a win would come a price with injuries to Pharaoh Brown, Ifo Ekpre-Olomu, and Hroniss Grasu. It will remain to be seen if the Ducks can overcome these injuries. They will have a nice BYE week, then a easy game against Colorado and then Oregon State. With Auburn losing to Texas A&M, we should jump into the number three spot.
- Go Ducks!
