      Utah finishes 9-4 and ranked. 

      Take it to the bank.

      No hater here. I like your positive thinking! I predicted a 7-5 season at the start of the year and still believe we can achieve that.

        Secretly, I agree with you. Seven wins I where I had us.

      My kool-aid seems to have run dry. I’ll gladly take a refill, though.

      I can actually envision how Utah beats Wazzu – they are terrible on the road and our secondary is not too shabby.
      We might – wait for it – even get some sacks in this game. I think Huntley will give their defense some trouble.

      But I can’t see this error-prone, headcase team going in to Seattle and getting a win. I actually think UW is not as good this year as they were last year, and are beatable, but Utah would have to play a near perfect game to pull it off and we haven’t seen anything close to perfect so far. I’d love to hear why you think it’s possible.

      Colorado is definitely a winnable game, but it would be nice to see this team get to 6 wins prior to that matchup.

        Here’s why:

        I posted during the Oregon game in the third quarter how it seemed like Taylor gave Whitt a big middle finger and said, “screw you and your ideas, I’m running MY offense”.

        It was at halftime. Now, it wasn’t pretty in the Oregon game, but it was different. It was gooooood.

        Then, we saw more of it vs UCLA (hence the bad first quarter. We were literally 2 quarters into a “new” offense).

        Now, UCLA is bad. BUT, we did what we should have done to a bad team and that is beat them soundly.

        I don’t think we’ve ever done that in the PAC-12.

        I think Taylor has reached his boiling point and has decided that if he is going to get canned like everyone else, he is going to get canned doing it his way.

        I don’t think our defense is as bad as everyone claims. I think our defense isn’t as great as years past and when the offense hangs them out to dry, they struggle.

        What im saying is this:

        I think our offense is better. It is fixing what ailed it. As this happens, our defense will stay on the sidelines and look better.

        Instead of having Repp in on a first down because the drive is 10 plays long and our offense went three and out the two previous possessions and Anae is exhausted, we can save his for third and long.

        I don’t think our offense will suddenly score 45 a game. BUT, I do think we can get our 3rd down conversion up to 40% and increase our RZ TD’s, which can get us up to 33 points a game, which if we score that, we win all our games.

        We’d be 8-1 if we could score 33 pts a game.

          Our pass defense is solid, better than usual. But our Run defense has been bad — at least according to Utah standards.

          I agree with much of this, but I don’t actually think it was Whit that needed the middle finger but rather the panic-stricken fans after the Oregon game. I do like to think Whit is wise enough to understand this offense couldn’t be installed seamlessly in a single season, and he was ready to take the lumps this season for a payoff next year.

          The UCLA game showed it could be close to installed, but the mistakes are still too plentiful.

          I agree with you about the defense. They will be fine.

            Sky is falling. World is going to end. We suck. I hate everyone. Whitt is a terrible coach and should be canned as soon as humanly possible so we can catch lightning in a bottle one more time.

        Here’s a random bold prediction — we win Wazzu, we also win Udub, and then lose to the Buffs. Welcome to Utah football!

          That would make a perverse fomr of the typical Utah football season.

      We lost some winnable games; time to win the “un-winnable” games now.

        If you’d let me take that as a guarantee, I’d take it.
