Ute fans seem to be pretty divided on who they prefer to play. This is what I’ve heard from both camps.
Why fans want to play Oregon:
Subpar QB play, recently shown that Utah can go toe-to-toe with this version of Oregon.
Why fans want to play WSU:
They are not that talented. Utah usually beats teams with equal or less talent.
Why fans don’t want to play Oregon:
Utah struggles with talent. If Oregon puts together a good game plan and comes out firing, the game could easily get away from Utah. Also, there seems to be some major PTSD about playing Oregon in the CCG.
Why fans don’t want to play WSU:
Emerging as a really good team. Really good QB and RB play. Their strengths align with Utah’s weaknesses.
