I like the Wisconsin game. Although I hope itβs part of a home and home agreement. Nevada could be good as they are from time to time. Utah Tech gives the Utes a week to see what they have while giving Tech a good payday. Itβs an okay schedule. I would like to see more marquee teams.
Wisconsin is scheduled to play @ Rice-Eccles in 2033. The Nevada game looks like it is a one game agreement; I don’t see any other future games scheduled between Utah and Nevada.
I like it because each week the opponent gets tougher. I think it is a great way to prepare for conference play. I do not like starting with UCLA this season. But it is what it is.
I like the Wisconsin game. But Nevada? Booo! We don’t recruit NV that much, and when we do, those players are predominantly from the Las Vegas region. So schedule UNLV.
And I hate scheduling all FCS teams. Even the “Utah” ones.
This reminds me of when we were in the Mountain West and our first game would always be and marquee opponent like Oklahoma or Michigan and we’d ruin their season on game one.
