      I know with fall camp going there are interviews with players and coaches daily. Where do you think we sit mentally going in to the season?

      After back to back bad seasons and last year a disaster. Is the winning mentality gone? There’s only a few players left over from the 2nd Rose bowl. I’m getting a positive vibe from what I’ve seen and heard that this team is on a mission to get back on track. Intensity level is very high according to Bill Riley. My personal opinion is the experienced offense line was embarrassed last year and will set pace for a comeback year. Damuni Barton and Snowden will set the pace on defense. I like the vibe.

      Tbh I can’t recall a season, at least in the social media era, where the vibe wasn’t good…even years where Utah finished with a losing season (thinking 2012 or 2013).

        It certainly wasn’t good the last 2 years. It’s one thing to say it’s there. Another to back it up. If you can’t back it up it wasn’t there to begin with. Last two years the vibe has been over confidence, injuries,turmoil and bad coaching. I loved the vibe going in to last season didn’t turn out. My vibe is these things have been corrected and the players are hungry to prove last year was an anomaly.

      Any collection of folks can feel untouchable before the rubber ever meets the road, I’m sure spirits are quite high. The real test is how the team dynamic reacts when unexpected or negative things happen. Some rise to the occasion and some wilt. If you watch every game and keep track of the news on a team it’s not hard to track their overall mood as the season progresses, you can see it in the way they play. In the past I would say that one of the things that set our team apart was how they dealt with setbacks from an attitude standpoint, how the team would come out after a loss felt like clockwork in a positive way. I want to see how the team responds after an opposing pick 6 or a tough loss.
