|
|
||
| WHEREAS, In a memorable matchup in the 2011 Sun Bowl in El | ||
| Paso, the University of Utah football team concluded its season | ||
| with a 30-27 overtime victory against Georgia Tech; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Taking the field on December 31 before a crowd of | ||
| more than 48,000, the two teams engaged in a thrilling | ||
| back-and-forth battle; trailing by 14 points with seven minutes | ||
| remaining in the fourth quarter, the Utes staged a dramatic | ||
| comeback and tied the game on a 28-yard touchdown pass on fourth | ||
| down with just over a minute remaining; Georgia Tech retook the lead | ||
| with a field goal in overtime, but Utah countered with a drive that | ||
| culminated in an 8-yard scoring run to win the game; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Providing the offensive spark for the Utes was | ||
| tailback John White IV, who was named the game's Most Valuable | ||
| Player after racking up 115 yards on the ground and scoring the | ||
| decisive TD; his Sun Bowl yardage made him Utah's single-season | ||
| leader in both rushing and rushing touchdowns; and | ||
| WHEREAS, By defeating Georgia Tech, the Utes claimed their | ||
| university's 14th bowl game victory, and the memory of that | ||
| accomplishment will be cherished by the team and its loyal fans for | ||
| years to come; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate the University of Utah football | ||
| team on winning the 2011 Sun Bowl in El Paso; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
