In regards to this season’s game with BYU

Here’s BYU’s biggest problems:

1- They lost Langi and Nacua. Those two were wrecking balls for BYU last year and kept Utah from 9-21 points. 

2- their schedule vs our schedule. They have LSU before us and Wisconsin after us. That’s nuts. USC couldn’t survive a stretch like that last year and went 1-3. For BYU to think they can do better? 

3- depth. If they have any injuries vs LSU, they are screwed. LSU has an incredible D-Line. If Mangum goes down, they might not go bowling next year. 

Utah wins this and wins it easily in large part because of the schedule. BYU just isn’t good enough for this heavy of a load. 

I figure that given Yner’s lack of P5 talent, they should typically only have about a 10% chance of beating Utah at any given meeting. That is still a threat, but for the most part, Utah has no business losing to tds. This year, given the uncertainty on Utah’s side, and also the home field advantage for them, I would say BYwho has about a 25% chance of catching us this year. But this is as good a chance as I see for them in the foreseeable future.

For Utah, losing an OOC game to a team like tds is not the end of the world, it is mostly the insufferable turds for a fanbase they have that make it most difficult to bear for us fans.

Having said all that, I think people are underestimating the value of a senior QB in Troy. Sure, he struggled at the end of last season, but I have a hunch this new offense is going to do well by him, add to that the experience he accumulated last year.

As for the other hard games on tds’s schedule, it’s worth remembering that one of those teams is likely to have a down year ala Mich. St last year. As much as I despise tds, I don’t really mind them beating LSU or someone as long as Utah takes care of business.

I’m so uninterested in the turds down south I don’t know their record from last year or who they played, other than us.  After we play them, they cease to exist to me except when I pass through that awful town on I15 and give them a 1-finger salute.

Sitake will beef up their lines. That will help them be competitive in every game, the way it has done for us.
Their main problem is that they won’t be getting premier talent anywhere else.
They don’t have a single player that concerns me.

Agree. This year is their best shot. And they will be hyped up for it. It is now their Superbowl. Their fans will try to deny that, but their players have already admitted it (Van Noy)

This year is definitely their best chance in a while. However, do not underestimate the emotion and competitive drive on the Utah side either. They want to beat byu as much as any other team for sure! There are enough leaders on the team who understand what it takes to win against byu that I have no doubt about the competitive drive on utah’s team. It will be a battle but I think Utah ultimately wins due to superior talent.

Toss up? That was a miserably played game by Troy Williams, inexperienced LB’s and 6 turnovers to only enter the red zone twice. The games not a toss up. Ucla, and Stanford are toss up games, 💩-ds is nowhere near either one.

And they are big fat doo-doo heads!

Seriously though, our defense will be better than last year I think and they’re tackles are not good…at all. Their interior lineman are okay though. ‘Twill be a slaughter.

I think tds-P will be so hobbled after playing a very tough LSU defense that Kylie Fitts and the gang will put Conner Mantooth out of the game before half time.  I see this being a huge Utah blowout.  Think about last year’s game with no turnovers.  It would have been at least a 20+ blowout.
