Ahead of Saturday’s matchup in Waco, the No. 12-ranked Utah football team appears to have some advantages against Baylor, but the Utes insist they’re taking nothing for granted in the programs’ first-ever matchup, which will double as an early preview of future Big 12 meetings.
Ahead of Saturday’s matchup in Waco, the No. 12-ranked Utes appear to have some advantages, but insist they’re taking nothing for granted in the programs’ first-ever matchup.
Whittingham pointed to the Utes amassing only 105 yards on the ground, and averaging just 3.5 yards per carry. While acknowledging that milking the clock late and taking a few kneel-downs at the very end had the cumulative effect of making the stats look worse than perhaps they really were, he maintained that the performance “still wasn’t up to our standards.”
“It can be more efficient, I can be more efficient in terms of orchestrating it, the when and the why with it,” he said. “But I thought the quarterbacks did an outstanding job of handling it. It’s not easy for a quarterback to be in the flow, get yanked, another guy comes in, and things like that. So I need to manage it better.”
Lest this all sound overly negative, don’t get it wrong — Utah had a very good showing in the 24-11 win over Florida, and will have some decided advantages Saturday against Baylor. “I thought we were really assignment-sound and I thought we thought we fired off the ball and were physical and we played our game,” said Fillinger. “We hold ourselves to a standard and a culture here.”
