As of 11/9/21: Total Defense National #37 PAC12 #3 Interesting sidenote: Top 2 PAC12 defenses Utah faces this year are the Arizona schools.
ASU #1 PAC12, #25 Nation UA #4 PAC12, #44 Nation
Other: Oregon #6 PAC12, #59 Nation Colorado #11 PAC12, #87 Nation
Oregon State #10 PAC12, #85 Nation SDSU #9 Nation BYU #81 Nation
Not putting up big points against the #81 & #85 defenses was not good.
I heard that UA was 10th in the conference in rushing D. I guess we will be running again this week. However, Oregon has been good against the run and 10th in Pass D. So, we will need to change things on the 20th.
9th. And honestly that surprises me.
My .02 watching UA this year is that their defensive line looks like a D2 unit. Shocking, really.
Didn’t we still put up 34 on that #85 D, on the road?
Yes. Offense wasn’t the issue in that game. The same can’t be said for the other two phases of the game.
If the defense and special teams had been even competent we would not have had to score even the 34 that we did manage to put up.
Should have put up 50+. I’ll keep being the person who says two nothingburgers inside of the 5 and terrible special teams against #85 lost that game.
How is UofA #4? I don’t get it….
