Not sure why it’s mind-boggling to you, though because it’s very likely Utah isn’t picked to be a top five Big 12 team. They might. I think we’ve all conceded that but that won’t be the media’s project. And I get the media doesn’t know what they’re talking about half the time but it does indicate the consensus and I’m sure the consensus will have…[Read more]

2021 would have been a mirror image of 2024 if Utah didn’t finally play Rising.

That team only did what it did because Rising proved to be a game-changing quarterback at Utah. He did things no QB could consistently do since BJ and it positioned Utah for the Pac-12 title both years.

Without Rising, I’m not sure Whitt is even the coach anymore…[Read more]

Correct you are Utah#1. Except that it’s the right wingnut MAGA Republicans who are the brainwashed, truth-hating, hypocrites, who will destroy anyone who disagrees with them or exposes them as the frauds they are, and then turn around and blames everybody else for the very thing they are guilty of doing.

Yes. It was ridiculously easy to churn out a winning season and Utah couldn’t do it. I didn’t say every game was easy but certainly a schedule where you get Arizona, TCU, BYU and ISU at home should theoretically result in at least three wins – not four losses.

We had abysmal QB play and still only lost by 1 score or less in 5 games.

Iowa St 3 points
ASU 8 points
TCU 6 points
BYU 1 point
Houston 3 points

Then Az by 13 and Colorado by 25

I would argue that with even lost a slight offensive improvement we win most of those losses, so if you want reasons to think positive, then look at how awful our O…[Read more]

I feel like the people who think that we’ll no longer need to rely on Cam Rising, as the reason for improvement in 2025, are missing the point. Our problem wasn’t “relying on Cam Rising”. It was “injury”. And “injury” isn’t exclusive to “Rising”.

If Dampier goes down, don’t expect his backup to flourish right out of the gate. And dual-threat…[Read more]

None of it is hard and yet Utah is coming off two conference wins. Guess how many times Utah finished with just two conference wins in the Pac-12? And that was a much bigger jump (from MWC to Pac-12) than what we’ve experienced here.

Utah struggles historically on the road vs decent or better teams. @ UCLA, @WVU, @BYU, @Baylor, @Kansas could be…[Read more]

No. I don’t believe Utah sucks no matter what lol

But Utah is coming off a 5-7 season where they finished 13th in the conference.

I’m the fan that needs to see the actual results before I feel confident enough to pick them to do better than 6-6 or 7-5.

We’d played #7 Ariz St, #13 ybu-p, #15 Iowa St, and #25 Colo last year. You call a schedule with 4 ranked opponents “ridiculously easy”? And don’t forget that our conference schedule was 4-Home, 5-Away.

This wasn’t our toughest schedule in Utah Football history, but I wouldn’t have described it as “ridiculously easy”.

This thread is mind boggling to me … I understand limiting expectations but even limiting expectations Utah is still a top 5 team in this conference! Health is the only thing that would derail that!

If Utah stays healthy they will win at least 10 games. If we see a lot of Zurbrugg than it’s another 5 or 6 win season.

To feel better, know that:
1) We aren’t relying on Cam Rising and Cam Rising alone like the last 2 years
2) We have an OC that doesn’t require 2 years just to start understanding the system

Beck and a ‘simpler’ offense that can adapt if injuries do occur (knock on wood, hopefully not) and a still very good defense and we can play a well-rounded…[Read more]

Exactly.

It’s easy to forget 2021. The DLine was young and inexperienced that year. And BYU pushed them around early in the season, and so did Oregon State.

We all know what eventually happened in 2021.

I think he keeps trying because this shit would actually work on cougarboard. I keep crossing my fingers that one prediction ends up being randomly correct just for the entertainment though

I’m not surprised, but it looks like he just used Utah to get more from TT.

Big12 officials are pretty lax on holding

Unless BYU desperately needs the yards.

It’s the Big 12 none of the seasons are that hard. If UCLA is our standout test I might remind you that we just exited a league where they were perennially one of our easiest opponents.

I won’t be convinced that we aren’t on track for one of the worst offenses in all of college football again until at least week 5 of the season.

Amen Yergi. Let’s wait until the last drive to start calling it.
