  I don’t know which teams they’ll beat or lose to, but, based on what I’ve seen during the last two seasons, that’s my gut feeling. I can’t speak for anyone else but myself, but the poor way that the QB situation (and the offense in general) was handled during the 23-24 and 24-25 season has made me lose a lot of confidence in this coaching staff, and particularly Whitt.
  
  Now, I know that a lot of people will downvote me, and that’s OK. And I’ll be very happy if I’m wrong and the Utes end up anywhere from 10-2 up. However, I just don’t see it. It almost feels like Utah was energized and played above their heads when they were in the PAC (this includes the fanbase) but being in the Big XII has turned into a sad regression to the mean.
  
  Whatever the case, this is a big season coming up. Utah has to show up on the football field or they’ll be relegated to being one of those teams that entered the national consciousness for a minute and but are now in the conversation. Go Utes!

  So a two win improvement with a new OC, new QB, new system and so forth. Not an outlandish prediction.

    Especially given what we’ve seen during the last couple of seasons. Again, I hope I’m wrong and this time next year I’m wondering how I’m going to pay off my remaining CFP bills but…

  I am thinking optimistically at 8-4. I think Devin Dampier will be middle of the pack but not great. I hope Kyle has been honest saying that Beck has full and complete control of the offense though. Year after year our OC’s have been handcuffed a bit from what I hear. Kyle has never given up full control.

  A less complicated offense and a new face running it should get us to 8-4 9-3. Last year left a bad taste in the mouths of coaches and returning players. Please don’t over use Dampier and Parker we need them down the stretch. Spread offense means spread the ball around to others.

    Jim, I would think so, especially when you look at all of the close games that Utah had but ultimately lost. As I said, 7-5 is my floor but I’m hoping that the Utes can do better than that. I do have to think that, contract or no contract, another disappointing season from the team signifies a trend and would probably mean a change in head coach.
