I was listening to Hans and Scotty G. It was the most recent thing I could download about the game. I didn’t hear the whole thing and this is what I recall of it. They both stated they felt the game was a Pick Em.
Scotty G gave limited insight but stated that he felt Utah is playing its best ball right now and this will be important. Hans agreed.
Hans broke down several important differences between this game and the last game.
The 2 ejections were huge. We were down 2 of our best defenders with Marquis Blair and Leki Fotu. He feels Fotu is a huge part of our run defense. Blair was beat on one play learned from it and made a tackle for a loss before his ejection. He feels these losses were a huge blow.
He thinks that we have better balanced our calls in the last games vs this game in a way that will be more effective.
Paulo was also out and the defender he would have been on had a huge impact on Utah’s ofense. He stated the player #8 is all he said if I recall correctly blew up the game plan for the TDS and stopped everything that had worked for them against Wisconsin. The same player has a huge impact in the Utah game. He feels Paulo back in his normal spot and others floating have made the O-line significantly better.
He feels that Shelley is able to keep up the QB position better than what was done in the first game. We do have a drop off with Moss out, but with improved O line things may even out.
This leads him to feel this game is a Pick Em.
Someone elses breakdown from my poor memory but a few things that may work in our favor.
