I think it is hard to gauge most teams, OSU and Utah included, as we don’t really know who is good or not, and games can be so crazy early in the season.
I have watched as much OSU as I have been able to. They showed a lot of heart in their comeback against Arkansas. I will say, the score in that one may be a little misleading as I think 11 of…[Read more]

I am with you! I am bummed the P12 went away, but I don’t understand why so many of our (Utah’s) fanbase are so negative. A top 15 matchup this week is pretty rad, imo. Winner of this game becomes a solid favorite for a trip to Arlington and shot at the playoffs.
Goodluck to your Cowboys. Hoping we get a clean game without injuries, that both…[Read more]

I had sone back in the day, but they have been harder to come by. I think maybe online is your best bet. I also scored some flex fit hats (my second favorite to the true fitted ones) at Kohl’s several years back.

Agreed. Today was the first time we really saw him finishing his drives instead of penetrating and kicking. Loved seeing him step up. I think the rest of the team needs to move more to give him targets or clear the lane. What we saw from Deivon Smith today was VERY encouraging. I was really happy Ben Carlsen stepped up and knocked down some huge…[Read more]

Keba fouled out on the last meaningful play with like 2.8 seconds left.

We let it get closer than it should have been, but huge win for the Utes! Smith showed why we were excited to get him today. Still kind of a mess at points, but the team stepped up big. Weird calls, but that is just the nature of P12 refs. Proud of this team. Hoping we can use this to build some momentum and start getting wins on the road, too.

Jamal Anderson and Ben Moa were both great down there if I recall. Moa in 2003 was a special player at that combo TE spot.

There has basically never been a point to bowl games other than 1 more chance to see your team play. We shoehorned the national championship into them, but they have always been exhibitions (in fact wasn’t it pretty recently that they started counting bowl stats as official?). Even under the BCS, only 2 teams played for true stakes. I think we all…[Read more]

I think because his ankle/leg are still banged up. We saw JJ’s heart but not full talent this year. He has been hurt basically all year. I expect him to be a lot better next year, especially with a credible threat to pass with Rising back there.

He has looked ok to pretty good for most of the second half of the season.

It was pretty clear early on that Utah wasn’t playing to win by a lot. We were just trying to get a lead and do what we needed to do. Given the state of the team, that seems wise. We were a turn over or 2 away from a loss. If you watched the throws Bottari did make, you could see how rusty he was. This was a win and call it kind of game.

I think we have seen big improvements in Glover in the 2nd half of the season. He has been a big bright spot, imo, especially compared to how he started the year.

I don’t think UofA has an advantage on us in terms of personnel that UO and UW did. This is the type of team Utah often wallops because they do have weaknesses. I don’t think we blow them out, and we could definitely lose, but I have Utah by 10 at 34-24.

This is racist and full of just weird logic. Also, NJ is a 4* dual threat QB, so not sure why he isn’t in your list.

And UofA, which we will see next week. The drop in the BigXII won’t be as big of a pushover as people seem to think. It seems like there are a lot of inconsistent teams, but not bad teams. We have 5 away games with a lot of travel, too. OK St on the road won’t likely be a pushover. We also don’t know these teams as well. We struggled enough with a…[Read more]

The game was called well. We were done in by drops, UW playing well, and that hit BB took. No coincidence that we threw the pick after that hit and was much more ginger with his runs.

Yeah, our defense tends to be susceptible to quick decisions and crisp execution. We tend to play sound but rely on some mistake by our opponent, which usually happens, or for our pressure to get home. UO schemed this up perfectly and had faith in their talent to break short to mid range stuff for more.
It was similar in effect to what we did to…[Read more]

I tossed Babe, Pig Farmer in the city up on Reddit for the postgame thread. I think it works. And yes, I know, Babe was the pig, not the farmer.

We are 4-1 with at best our #3 QB and #3 RB. That is an indication of a lot of depth. You can be upset by how Kyle has done stuff, but the results are 4-1, which is as good or better than moat predicted us to be at this point. Do you expect us to be a killer team on the road against a very good OSU when we are this beat up? It is silly the…[Read more]
