Some would say act like you’ve been there before, but when you haven’t I guess ignorance is bliss.
In all fairness, trolling these days can all be in good fun, but you have to be ready to back up what you put out there. And in the case of the Utah Football Twitter account, it just trolled one of the blue bloods in the sport.
It all stems from a recruiting flip. Four-star DB prospect Clark Phillips III had been committed to Ohio State, but then apparently had second-thoughts when OSU assistant coach Jeff Hafley accepted the head coaching position at Boston College. Hafley was very instrumental in the recruitment of the class’ No. 4 rated cornerback.
Phillips turned those questions and concerns into a change in heart — announcing his official commitment to the Utes Thursday. And, all in good fun we’re sure, the official Twitter account of Utah Football then proceeded to rub it in Ohio State’s face a bit.
THE University of Utah.

Good for you Utah. I’m sure Ohio State is shaking in its scarlet and gray boots comparing its No. 3 rated recruiting class to your consensus top forty haul. And I’m sure many in the program would say wait until any meeting on the field, but it’s unlikely the Utes make it to the big stage where the Buckeyes have an almost permanent residency.
Good luck in your quest to make it to THE College Football Playoff where Ohio State will be on December 28.
