One thought, then we write.
No one has gone 9-0 in the Pac-12 South in the 11 years since the league split into North-South. Utah was damn close. Led Oregon State 14-0, had a blocked punt returned for a TD in a 42-34 loss in Corvallis. It’s hard to run the table.
OK, we write. – 8:04 PM

The Knicks once again start with Kemba Walker, RJ Barrett, Evan Fournier, Julius Randle and Mitchell Robinson. It enters tonight’s game vs. Phoenix as the NBA’s most played 5-man lineup – while being outscored by 15.5 points per 100.
Tonight, though, NYK starts out up 19-15. – 7:20 PM

Nice job by Rising.
He took off, defense committed, a little flip to Covey for a 13-yard TD, Rising’s third of the day.

On fourth-and-2 from the Colorado 31, Utah goes and Tavion Thomas picks up 3.
Buffs have not stopped Utah yet, and the special teams are a mess.
Good call. – 5:03 PM

Josh Newman @Joshua_Newman
Utah starting to assume control now.
Devin Lloyd got home to deck Brendon Lewis, then the blitz came on third down before an incomplete pass.
Buffs to punt inside their own 15. – 4:55 PM

Josh Newman @Joshua_Newman
Rising to Brant Kuithe on his second read, 19 yards for the TD.
TJ Pledger for 27 on the previous play set that up.
Utah 7, Colorado 3, early 2Q – 4:49 PM

End of one: Colorado 3, Utah 0.
Utes may have had too much tryptophan yesterday. – 4:41 PM

Utah has won 18 of 19 at Rice-Eccles Stadium, the one loss being last season in the COVID opener.

It has been a long joke that when Jordan Clarkson came to the Jazz before saying hi to Joe Ingles said “You know that shot at the end of the clock no one wants. I will take it”
Jordan is 3 for 29 on the shot this year. His numbers look at lot better if you take those out – 3:41 PM
