I think it means running Moss into the ground. 30 carries a game minimum.

18, 20, and 21 lost today as well. We should move into the teens in the AP… which will be rendered useless by Tuesday, but baby steps.

We can afford a loss to anyone but Colorado… but obviously winning out is the way to go. I think 2/3 does it.

There’s a reason they’re 1-6… of course they’re going to botch the easiest plays…

Actually kinda relieved Lo is taking his time… the O-line seems to have gelled quite a bit since he went out. Not drawing any conclusions, but ride the hot hand.

I feel like this team has more mature leadership and they know not to take this for granted. Like mentioned, a lot of these guys have been there before. I’d even argue the USC shots help in being disrespected. I’d worry once we start getting respect around the conference. Not sure we’ve gotten that yet.

As much as USC’s coaches were praising us after the game, their players wouldn’t give us any credit.

Rose Bowl is as high as I’m setting hopes/expectations this season. The bottom is that Santa Clara bowl but I’d much rather prefer the Holiday Bowl if not the Rose.

Why does it matter? He’s gone. Huntley and the offense have found a fit right now. He’ll be around another year with a deeper understanding of the system and perhaps another year of Moss and Co on offense. I don’t see how Tuttle would want to stick around. In his mind he’s wasted a year. Good luck outside of the conference. Unless he comes back to…[Read more]

The only other place I’ve been is Stanford. Such a nerdy vibe there but affluent, older, and outside of the student section, still pretty white. It didn’t feel like they took football too seriously, but I also heard it was during their Fall Break as well, so the stadium was half full.

We’ve definitely got a more blue-collar crowd, I think. Of…[Read more]

After seeing Stanford’s band… I’m okay with just about anyone else, and yes. Also a fan of USC’s fight song.

Based on the fact USC’s offense really had no established part in those scores, I felt calm. Definitely no panic. Which is new.

Who were calling for it?

Listen. I endured the last few years of my Charger fandom under Ball Coach McCoy… I’d quit Utah if that were to ever happen.

Wait. Tuttle is transferring?

The easiest outcome is Colorado losing tonight puts everything in our hands. Winning out means tiebreakers over every team in the South. We should be able to stomach one more loss to say.. Oregon assuming the South stays unpredictable.

Absolutely garbage game… Both teams are beatable. Colorado has feasted on a weak schedule. USC still has a freshman at QB. Both have the athletes to beat us on a bad night though.

Most ranked teams looked like absolute garbage this week. Don’t think we will be. Don’t need extra fuel for the USC game. Should be up for that one already.

The flip side: A ranked USC/Utah game ‘plays better on TV’, right Woodie?

Thanks for the help! I made it safely. Traveling solo. I’ll probably check out some of the Fleet Week stuff in the morning/early afternoon tomorrow. Seeing lots of Ute gear around town.

Went across the Golden Gate Bridge and did Fisherman’s Wharf this afternoon. Boudin soup bowl was AMAZING in the early evening. Absolutely perfect. This place is…[Read more]
