      If we lose against Florida again, will our rising level of national recognition take a big hit?

      A small hit to those who bother to look at our injury situation. A big hit to everyone else.

      Yeah, we’ll definitely need to tighten things up depending on how things go….

          I don’t mind the loosening so much when it’s after a great meal.

      I think Whitt will rally the team and say 🎶Kick off your Sunday shoes. Please, Louise. Pull me up off my knees. Jack, get back. C’mon, before we crack. Loose, your blues.🎶

      We’ll certainly be out of the ridiculous playoff conversation.

      I can guarantee Utah won’t loose the game against Florida, but I can’t guarantee they won’t lose the game.

        To be fair the misspelling of lose versus loose is out of control.

          Sure, but since they’re both words, spell check won’t catch it and their phone can even change it from what they meant to what they posted.

      The Utes have already lost this game and might as well forfeit and save the Gators the hassle of traveling to SLC. Don’t believe me? Well, just ask the plethora of Gator sites on YouTube. They’ll all tell you this is a guaranteed Gator win. So what if the Gators got blown out in the Las Vegas Bowl by a team that the Utes annihilated in Rice-Eccles last season. That’s an apples-to-oranges comparison. Why, I saw a Gator YouTube channel today that ran an NCAA 14 simulation and the Gators blew out the Utes. It was so realistic! Mertz looked like Joe Burrow and the Utes couldn’t even get a hand on him as he went through his progressions. Every Gator WR looked like Ja’marr Chase. Fellow Ute fans, I don’t have a clue as to how the Utes can compete against the juggernaut known as the Florida Gators.

        That’s why they play the games?

      I agree it will affect us nationally to a point. But, if we lose next Thursday, life will go on.

      For some reason, I feel good about this game. I did not feel good last year. I am not sure why I feel better considering our injuries. But, I do feel good about the game. I think we will win. If we happen to lose, life will go on and so will the Utes. I will not make this season about one game.

      Go Utes!!!

        The expectations were higher last year. Many bought into the #7 preseason rating and assumed that Florida, with a new coach, would just be a quick pit stop on the 2022 coronation tour.

        This year, the fanbase realizes that Utah is not only going to have to be at top form to win next week, but that Florida is just the first challenge in a long season that is going to have plenty of them. I haven’t really seen any “15-0, we’re going to win it all” posts so I think we’ve all collectively decided that the potential is there but no one is going to hand it to Utah this year.

      Still believe UF’s hogs get gassed by early 2nd half & we pull away at that point for a comfortable victory.

        I know that Utah’s new facility can simulate many weather conditions for practice purposes. I wonder if Florida’s is able to “pull a Vegas” and alter the oxygen content to simulate elevation?

          I’ve talked to various knowledgeable Gator fans and they’ve told me that high humidity and heat serve as a substitute for altitude acclimation. I did some research on the subject and confirmed that training at higher elevations creates additional red blood cells, but training in the heat increases your blood plasma volume, which enhances circulation, oxygen delivery, and results in a higher VO2 max at a given effort level. Bottom line, if the Gators are well conditioned, and I have no doubt that they are,, the altitude might not play as much of a factor as the humidity did for us last year at the Swamp.

            sure, but elevation doesn’t only affect the players. The studies MLB did showed that the ball travelled 10% farther. Humidity has the opposite effect. Granted that should mainly affect the kicking game but a couple of extra floated passes or a muff could be on the table

      WE ARE NOT LOSING TO THE GATORS. MY SPORTS PSYCH. HAS PREDICTED A UTAH WIN BY A SCORE OF 33-28. HER PREDICTIONS ARE AS GOOD AS GOLD.
