Sugar Bowl
Utah season wrap 2009
It would be hard to top Utah’s 2008 season. In 2008 the Utes finished as the nation’s only undefeated team. Utah ran through the Mountain West Conference undefeated and was rewarded with a berth in the Sugar Bowl. It was Utah’s second ever BCS bowl bid, and the Utes surprised many by dominating Alabama in the Sugar Bowl. Some argued that they should have been given a piece of the national title as the nation’s only unbeaten team, but Utah was only able to garner enough votes to finish second. They had a chance to match that record in 2009, but were unable to replace much of their offense.
Running back Eddie Wide was the focal point of the Utah offense in 2009. He ran for 1,069 yards and 12 touchdowns in his first season as Utah’s featured back. Brian Johnson could not be replaced as quarterback for the Utes. After Johnson threw for nearly 3,000 yards and 27 touchdowns in 2008 they could not get the same out of junior Terrance Cain. Cain split time with Jordan Wynn and the pair combined to throw for over 2,800 yards, but they only managed 19 touchdowns.
Utah began its season with the nation’s longest active winning streak and they were able to extend it in week one against an in state rival. Utah dominated Utah State 35-17 to keep its winning streak going. The Utes did not surrender a third down conversion to the Aggies. Utah also won quite handily in week two at San Jose State 24-14. Unfortunately, the Utes’ winning streak came to an end in week three. They had a chance to notch an impressive road win at Oregon, but the Ducks held serve at home in a 31-24 win. That loss likely ended any hopes of a repeat BCS bowl, but the Mountain West title was still up for grabs.
Utah would stay alive for most of the season because of a six game winning streak after the Oregon game. Utah beat Louisville (30-14), Colorado State (24-17), UNLV (35-15), Air Force (23-16), Wyoming (22-10), and New Mexico (45-14) to set up a tricky game against TCU. Because of the winning streak there was renewed hope for a BCS bowl, but TCU had BCS aspirations of its own. The Horned Frogs dominated the Utes 55-28 to take full control of the conference and their BCS fate.
A 38-7 win over San Diego State followed, but there were even more empty feelings when the Utes ended their regular season with the Holy War against rival Bringham Young. Utah trailed 20-6 going into the fourth quarter, but managed to tie the game with a late field goal. BYU regained control in overtime for a 26-23 win. Utah did not let that disappointment carry over to the bowl game though.
Wynn threw for a career high 338 yards and three touchdowns as Utah won the Poinsettia Bowl over California. The 37-27 win was a great way to cap a somewhat disappointing season.
