Yes Virginia, they do play football in the Rocky Mountains
—
Utah proved as much when they walked into the heart of the SEC, slaying the Pride of Dixie Friday night. Yes, here in the highlands of the Rocky Mountains, we too play a pretty good brand of football.  Back in 2004, many dismissed the Utes as a cute story, the little team that ...
