As soon as it was announced that Utah would play Alabama in the Sugar bowl, I doodled on my notebook here at work and did that same analysis for those two teams.
My results were as follows:
Utah scored more overall points throughout the year than Alabama.
Utah's games resulted in a larger spread of points than Alabama.
Alabama held their opponents to lower scores than Utah.
These results tell me a few things:
Utah has a better offense than 'Bama.
Utah has a great defense.
'Bama has a great defense.
But none of 'Bama's qualities came into the equation in the game. They were outplayed at every turn. Their QB was harassed to throw that ball EVERY time. Their QB was sacked 8 times. 8 TIMES. Utah held them to 31 rushing yards.
And Alabama's defense was rated so highly.
Whatev.
Utah remains undefeated. No other team in the country can say that. Utah is the best team in the nation. Period.
