Fans watched from the stands or thousands of miles away as the Utes marched onto the Spartan field, expecting them to wipe the floor with San Jose players. And 60 minutes later, the Utes marched off the field winners8212;but the victory was hollow.

Shock played across the expressions on Alabama fans' faces as the Utes scored the first of many touchdowns that won them the Sugar Bowl. Disbelief and pride rang throughout

First, I am appalled and slightly concerned that we are having a quarterback debate at this point in the season. It can never be a good thing if coaches are questioning the quarterback eight games in and with the likes of TCU and BYU on the horizon. However, given the Wyoming game, it's something that has to be considered.

During the weekend, a few things of interest happened. After consuming a good amount of candy, I now know why the coconut delight in a blue wrapper is called Almond Joy.

Junior quarterback Terrance Cain didn't have awful numbers in the first half of Saturday's Blackout game against Wyoming.

The air was chilly during the first half of Utah's matchup against Wyoming as fans settled in the back of their chairs on Halloween, witnessing two quarters of Utah offensive errors countered by efficient plays from a Wyoming quarterback who wouldn't quit.

On Halloween night the Utah Utes dressed up in their black uniforms, but not to go trick-or-treating. Instead, the Utes hosted in conference rival Wyoming on All Hallows Eve and almost got the scare of the season after trailing going into the fourth quarter Saturday night.

Off to yet another slow start, Utah is down at halftime 10-3 against a seemingly more prepared Wyoming.

Fresh off a bye week, the Wyoming Cowboys have had an extra week to prepare, rest and get ready for the Utes on Saturday at Rice-Eccles Stadium. Now they're eager to get back on the football field.

Even though the concept is no longer new and Utah fans won't be treated to a matchup of two top-ranked teams, fans are still looking forward to the Blackout game.
