With basketball the whole P5 thing is not really a big deal. Obviously it helps but you can have great Basketball teams in a perceived nothing conferences.
As far as football goes I think I have an idea of why Utah fizzles out. Which is why I am excited about Taylor. I think the problem was primarily the offensive staff is so predictable.
This team looks like they just aren’t very mentally tough so they bounce up and down like they are bipolar, higher dips and big runs. Add to that there doesn’t seem to be a consistent scorer that can stop the bleeding when the other team gets on a run.
Speaking of defense. I noticed a number of times they played good defense for about 25 seconds only to give up an easy shot at the end of the clock, it’s almost like they lose focus.
