A Tale of Two Seasons: Part IIX of XIII

I saw Terrence Cain and Corbin Loukes at a practice game for the Utes last spring and wasn't impressed. My coworker, Chris Kamrani, thought Cain showed potential, but instead, I noticed a skinny little white kid by the name of Jordan Wynn.
Wynn didn't seem any faster or stronger than the others, but the way he took control during a 2-minute drill made me wonder what the future held in store.

And despite being a true freshman, that "skinny little white kid" kicked ass on Saturday against the Wyoming Cowboys, just as I had hoped.

Week nine truly proved to be a tale of two seasons.

Week after week of close calls last year and underperforming, the Utes had their best offensive game of the year racking up 549 yards of offense and 49 points in a personal ass kicking of Colorado State.
We won all of those games, but it didn't compare to the beating the Rams took as Corbin Loukes, Matt Asiata and Jamie Brooks all rushed for touchdowns, and Freddie Brown and David Read caught passes from Brian Johnson for six points.
The feeling that day was awesome as the team appeared to be finally showing the college football world their greatness.
This year I was hoping for the same type of performance from the team against Wyoming. It didn't quite go as planned, but I think we're finally on track…thanks to Wynn.
It was a close game up until halftime, but to be honest, it looked bad. Then, miraculously enough, quarterback Terrence Cain was pulled for Jordan Wynn. I cheered internally, hoping that Wynn would lead us to victory.
With Wynn as the QB, the Utes scored back-to-back field goals and then threw a touchdown pass at the beginning of the 4th quarter, bringing us to the lead. The game ended 22-10, and I couldn't be happier.
Now that Wynn has seen time, we are back to the same point as earlier this year, waiting to find out who will get the nod on Saturday to start. Luckily, the New Mexico Lobos are the worst team in the nation, so even if I started for the Utes we would have a shot at winning.

This week will be the breakout game for the Utes no matter who starts as quarterback, which is why I'll be in the stands instead of out on the field. I just want to see a big, big Wynn.
