He had a few interesting takes on the guys opting out.
He thinks the biggest loss for this game may be the defensive tackle who opted out. He apparently is the foundation of the Dline. He feels that this may help Utah’s running game. He didn’t seem really high on the OSU linebackers.
He thinks that Coach Day will run more in this game because of the loss of the two wide receivers. However, their number one receiver will be playing, and difficult for Utah to stop.
He is very high on Stroud. Who wouldn’t be? He has had a great season.
He thinks that Utah will have a 60-40 or maybe a 70-30 advantage in fans. He feels that the Covid scare and games being canceled have kept some people home. I agree with him on this. I think it has also affected some Ute fans. The game may not be a sell-out because of Omicron.
