I think the line is moving because of the heat and humidity factor. The cowboys are more acclimated to play in harsh conditions. Baylor game was similar last year. Cam should be ready to go. Is two weeks enough time for stitches in a middle finger to heal? Any doctors in the house that can answer?

Down two starters is a big deal. It takes time for an o line to gel. Take advantage and pressure them early to make mistakes.

QB play is so crucial on the road. Easy for a young qb to get rattled early and make mistakes. We have seen that over and over with young QBs at home. Rising has the experience to calm the early storm and keep the crowd out of the game.

The intensity level will be much higher for both teams.

Utah rates higher because viewers want to watch Utah play reguardless of fan base. BYU is lower because nobody outside their fan base and church affiliation want to see them play. Point is their viewership is still an advantage with church affiliation.

Nice post DB. Very well stated. Of the 17 million members worldwide they still have a number of viewers to bolster their tv audience especially if they are playing on the road against a team that has a large LDS population in that city. Tv viewing is still an advantage even if those team by church affiliation only watch a couple games a year.

Gundy is more social and shares more opinions and emotions. Whitt is all business and keeps everything internal. Both great coaches different styles.

Face it if BYU wasn’t a church owned school and depended on Provo and surrounding area for support they would still be independent or in the mountain west.

Yes they have their hard core base of students and locals but the fact the LDS religion is world wide gives them a much larger fan base.

Didn’t he play last game? I remember a pass being thrown to him.

The humidity can be a bigger factor. I’ve never been to Stillwater. Is the humidity there high? The Baylor game was similar heat minus the humidity. Depth will play a big role.

I’ll answer that for you Dallas. Game time decision. He’s the alpha dog and we’re obviously a better team when he’s in the game. Next question. I don’t think they ask the question because they know the answer.

I’m old and don’t like the 8:15 start time. You can bet the ranch I’ll be there ready to go. I’ve had this game and the BYU game marked on my calendar since the schedule came out. I’m sure the players are on the same page. Cam let it be known during media day.

I have thought the same thing Tony. I haven’t seen Barton blitz yet. That was a big part of his game last before he got hurt. Maybe he has been a little precautious early until he feels 100% again.

Get out the pickle juice and mustard. I’d never heard of mustard but a couple weeks ago at my grandson Ute conference game a couple of the boys were cramping and one of the moms had mustard packets. Just when you think you’ve heard it all.

Big difference between a good G5 team on the road in Logan and a good P4 team playing in Stillwater. Cam will be ready and up to the task. Wilson will be there someday.

Getting his first win on the road against an instate rival should do wonders for his confidence.

Good points. The coaches learned a lot in these first 3 games. Even with Wilson getting more reps than Cam it’s clear we can throw the ball. Singer and Parks are big play receivers and our tight ends can get open. With a potent passing attack our RBs can be effective when called upon.

I think these first three games have exposed a few weaknesses. Going 3-0 is the goal. This week will be the true test of what we have on defense and offense.

Our coaches will make some adjustments and have the team ready to go. We developed our backup qb and figured out what our running game will look like. Our “throw game” looks like our str…[Read more]
