Despite Losing to USC, The MUSS & Utah's Crowd Impressed

The end result of the highly anticipated Utah vs USC game isn't what we were looking for, but Utah fans did a great job showing the national ESPN audience what a great atmosphere we have at Rice-Eccles Stadium and how it is a tough place to play.  Here are some tweets about Utah's atmosphere from around the country from Thursday night's game:

No matter the result tonight, Utah proved its a top-flight spot for atmosphere. Been impressed by crowd all night.

Re the halftime Q: Here's good example of effective student section. The blond brigade puts up another "5" for #Utah twitter.com/ESPNCFB/status…

Sorry for giving everyone that scare early on! Gotta love this team for hanging tough, especially in that environment! #FightOn

This is probably the most fun I've ever had at a #USC road game. If you aren't here you need to come in 2014! Great fans! #BeatTheUtes

Since there's no other reason to talk about Utah right now I might mention Rice-Eccles is most picturesque stadium in country IMO

Rice Eccles stadium causing false starts like it's CLink....except there's only 46k there

Utah's student section counts and keeps track of the opposing false starts that happen because of the loud atmosphere #legit

Utah has one loud stadium. Dang

Utah has a great fan base, only a little over 50,000 strong but still loud and proud.
