. . . to the page where we score lots of points.

Maybe this has already been discussed, but after seeing them lose in Provo to a team we handled somewhat easily, did we not take the Trojans seriously? 

If we look largely the same offensively and lose to USC, what will your reaction be?
 
I only ask because so many seem so adamant that we have intentionally kept our offense very basic these first 3 games and will now unleash our full potential on USC and the rest of the Pac-12. This sounds great and very well might be the case, but we heard the…[Read more]

We all seem to buy into this narrative that Utah has at least one WTF? loss every year, and sometimes two or three. I decided to look at the numbers and what I found surprised me. Going back to 2008, I’ve listed every loss with each opponent’s record. There aren’t very many WTF? losses.
2008 – Undefeated Sugar Bowl season. Not a single…[Read more]

2013: vs Utah State(9-5) – Won 30-26
2015: vs Michigan(10-3) – Won 24-17
 
This idea that Utah starts slow is a bit of a myth in my opinion. Utah starts slow against the FCS opponents and it’s probably due to a lack of interest and game…[Read more]

While the Moss injury isn’t a good thing, there are some real positives that come with it.
1) His backups are going to get more reps in practice which are very much needed. DHC sat out all of last year. Brumfield is a true Sophomore who saw only a little bit of action last year. Green is a redshirt Sophomore with only slightly more game…[Read more]

Our bye weeks could not be spread out better. 
We play 5 weeks to open the season, with the 4th of those 5 games being against an FCS team, before our first bye in week 6. Then we play 4 games and have another bye in week 11 before playing the final 3 (maybe 4?) games of the regular season. 
USC, on the other hand, gets essentially one bye week…[Read more]

Week 1 – Disadvantage: @ BYU – We open the season on the road for the first time since we beat Michigan 25-23 in Ann Arbor back in 2008. The Cougars do play @ Tennessee the following week but there is absolutely no chance BYU will be looking ahead to the Volunteers. 
Week 2 – Advantage: vs NIU – We’re at home and, coming off of a Thursday opener,…[Read more]

Why in the world didn’t our AD nominate Moss?
