UTE98

I’m getting way ahead of myself here, but honestly if we keep winning and putting up 40/game we’ve got an outside chance.
 
Way outside chance, but I’m not impressed with the little sisters of the poor in the SEC. Alabama is Alabama. I think they should play the playoffs for second place, I’d be much more interested in watching those games.

What do I want to see in the second half?
Moss, Shyne, and Huntley running it for over 100 yards combined this half and 24 more points.
LET’S GO UTES!!!!!

And just as I type that they score a TD. Rats foiled again.

Just took a quick look at a couple teams in the top 25. (AP)
Wisconsin and Michigan St. both have a win against a “top 10” team, however both have a loss to a top 25 team and a loss to an unranked team. Penn St. has not beat a top 25 team and a loss to a top 5 team and an unranked team.
Utah has a win against a Top 14 team on the road and both…[Read more]

Watched a few highlights and realized a few things.
J. Dixon is a great down the field threat, I didn’t realize he was the one to catch that long pass. Seems like we’ve had some good success recruiting QBs who are leaders and bring great teammates with them. Shelley only got one chance to pass last night but indirectly he’s had an impact on this…[Read more]

He looks like he’s enjoying football again, he looks happy, and he looks healthy. He looked 20 years older last year.

Utah is built to play well against Stanford, I think this is by far the best group of TEs they’ve ever had. That scared me, but Utah is built for a brawl in the alleyway against the bully.
I think we win next week, but ASU, Oregon, and Colorado will be tough due to their offensive style, and probably even USC.
I predict wins against Arizona and…[Read more]

Average, Good, Great, Elite.
I’d say we’re still between average and good.

Should have known that was the kind of head coach Whitt would be. 
I think we lead the nation in leads lost during the 4th quarter, or most games lost by less than 8 points.
Yesterday about four top 15 teams scored less than 30 points, and that includes Penn St v. Ohio St.
Last week four of the top 15 teams scored less than 30 points and of the…[Read more]

So reading the board I just realized something one of my old bosses used to say, “You’ve got to score!”
Do we really care if we rack up 1200 yards on offense if we fumble the ball, get stopped on 4th down, or throw a pick all after we’ve driven 98 yards to the 1 yard line? NO!!!!!!!
It ain’t about the stats it’s about putting the ball in the…[Read more]

We are not as good as we’d all hoped. Pretty much every year I look at the scoring happening with other Pac-12 teams and I think we’ll never outscore them.

This year may really be the year we can’t outscore anyone.

Games from last year and my prediction for points.

Arizona 2017 – 30 points, I’m taking the under.

Stanford 2017 – 20 points, I’m…[Read more]

Don’t get me wrong the Pac12 South is definitely in the running. After today it will likely be the only P5 half without a ranked team.
Other potential victors:
Big10 West – Purdue, Nebraska, Northwestern, Iowa, Minnesota, (6) Wisconsin, Illinois.
SEC East – (3) Georgia, Kentucky, Missouri, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Florida, South Carolina.
 

1 a, b, c Oregon, Stanford, Washington I think we lose to all three. However we might get a second shot at one of them.
4. Washington St (I think Utah passes them for the #4 position, but we won’t get any higher)
5. Utah
6. Cal
7. Colorado
8. ASU
9. USC
10. Arizona
11. Oregon St
12. UCLA
I think the winner of the Pac12 South is going to…[Read more]

…must be paying them to protect the North. I don’t usually blame things on the refs. They missed way too many calls and the replay crew missed just as many. Okay, we were sledding uphill due to the refs but really all complaints about the refs are negated by the following.
Huntley has about as much touch on short throws as a jugs machine turned…[Read more]

Okay, I’ll go in reverse order, I can’t sleep and thought I’d throw these out there.
The Ugly 
Our special teams, other than the kick offs, and receving kick offs. I’ve been watching for which teams take the fair catch inside the 25 and which don’t, I think the fair catch is the best option, unless the ball is kicked directly to you and the…[Read more]

He was the beginning of this offensive lack of consistency.
