      Wow looking at all these bowl predictions seems like everyone is on the Oregon train for the most part. Let’s go UTES and change that on Nov 19th. I like looking at these but really like to see when they are wrong.

      Oregon was ranked 3rd last year coming into Rice Eccles. Obviously this is a road game for Utah but they always going to be riding that train.

        I am back and forth on this one. On the one hand, other than the Georgia game Oregon has looked great all season, and Autzen is going to be out for blood after the Utes just crushed the ducks twice last season. But, this is the Utah team that completely dismantled an Oregon team that looked good last year otherwise.

        Not going to bet on this one. I wouldn’t be surprised with a complete blowout for either side.

          We were healthy and rolling going into those two Oregon games last season. This season we’re gonna be limping into that game. Also, Nix and Lanning are much better than their coach and QB from last year. Getting a W up there is gonna be a monumental task.

          If Wazzu almost beat the Ducks, I think the Utes have a good chance. Wazzu was up 34-22 on the Ducks with less than four minutes to go in the 4th Quarter before suffering a collapse for the ages and ultimately losing 44-41. To me, it really depends on whether both Kincaid and Rising go into that game in relatively good physical shape. If they’re both present and active, the Utes can compete.

      A few weeks ago, I was worried about the Oregon game, because of our defense and special teams. Now, I’m not too worried. I think that the team will be focused, and wouldn’t be surprised if they blew out Oregon. My main worry is overlooking Stanford and Colorado. Stanford has a history of playing well at RES, and they beat Notre Dame in South Bend. Colorado looks inept, but we’ve had a history of losing to an inept Colorado team at a critical juncture.

        Lmao Stanford is not going to win in a packed RES this weekend and Colorado wouldn’t win even if the game was played on the moon (or anywhere for that matter). I wish I shared your optimism about the Oregon game
