Hopefully he’s too distracted to scheme for Friday
Akron hiring Joe Moorhead

Utehub poster MawchDawgUte had posted about voting for his son ‘Asher’s Idol’ to meet Zack Moss. It’s a tight race. I don’t know OP or his son, but it’d be great to make a Utah fan’s day, so reposting link for further visibility.

Let me start by saying that my allegiance only lies with Utah, and nothing else. Unless the likes of USC/UW were bolting P12 for another conference, I’m not worried about our conference status or its perception. I agree that P12 is not mentioned in the same breath as the SEC/B1G, but who cares? Does anybody take away from Clemson’s accomplishments…[Read more]

Most of us were very confident in 2019, and we all know how that turned out. Maybe I’m just jaded, but I think next Friday is a toss-up, no matter who we play. It’s relative, and I’d rather play UO. WSU is scrappy and more complete than UO. Our STs worry me, and we won’t have the RES home advantage. Both these factors could easily be worth 7-14…[Read more]

Go Utes!!!
 

This is just a very different team at home. RES is going to be raucous, and if that wasn’t enough, the Moment of Loudness just elevates the energy to a whole different level. Just thinking about it is giving me goosebumps. 44-31 Utah. LFG!!! Go Utes!!!

Everything this year is a bonus, and even outside of that, this Utah team is ahead of the schedule in terms of how young they are. Still, it’s going to be a tough ask to win the battle of trenches. Oregon is not invincible, but they have gotten better since the Stanford game. Obviously, I want Utah to win, and we will put up a fight, but I won’t…[Read more]

Go Utes!!!

Rose Bowl: There is some chatter among Utah fans that an 8-5 record almost guarantees us a Rose Bowl bid. This is far from the truth. Personally, I feel that our chances are not good at 8-5, especially if ASU goes 9-3. Note that the 2016 P12 runner-up, a 10-3 Colorado, lost the bid to USC. Granted, USC is a bigger name, but ASU could be ranked and…[Read more]

Since I’m a fan and allowed to look ahead, I have started making arrangements in anticipation of the P12 CCG. I’m super stoked and wanted to share my excitement with the people who get it. Go Utes!!!

Too early, but Oregon is not looking good.

Let’s goooooooo!!! Beat the Cardinal!!! Go Utes!!!

Apparently Rising punted in HS. I say, good for us. Go Utes!!!

A lot was made about ASU’s penalties, but OSU had a very similar showing. In fact, outside of the rushing yards, OSU had very comparable stats to ASU. The intent here is not to cherry pick, but to note some observations:
Penalties: OSU 11 (114), ASU 13 (115)
TOP: OSU 27.35, ASU 28.43
TO margin: OSU -1, ASU +1
4th down: OSU 0/1, ASU 1/1
Total…[Read more]
