Their fans are clinging to the notion that they’re still on the same level as UTAH. They seem to think that nothing has changed during the six seasons that the UTES have been in the bigs.
The only hope that the zoobs would have against the UTES, both teams at full strength, would be attributable to the relative inexperience in a new system with new players for UTAH’s offense. It won’t be enough.
I don’t know. I visited CB after the game last night and the themes I saw were not delusional. Many aren’t sure they are even going to watch the game next week because they can’t handle the emotional strain of losing to Utah again. And many have lost all confidence Detmer.
Prior to the game they were all giddy about where they’d place in the Pac-12 if only they were members. However, they’ve probably dialed that down a bit after last night. That’ll probably only last for a day or two though.
