This entire exercise is a set-up to the committee putting a 3-loss SEC team in the field on Dec. 8. If you don't think that's a distinct possibility, you haven't been paying attention to the committee for the past 10 years or to Greg Sankey for the past 10 months.
You know what would have been even funnier than whining about a legitimate holding penalty?
How about imagine if Utah did have a miracle touchdown return but it's called back because the unsportsmanlike conduct was caused by Mark Harlan being on the field during the play?
That's an absolutely humiliating loss. The offense was awful. Coaching was worse. Chris Klieman continues dropping games he has no business losing. And now you've fumbled this season. Good job.
