ParticipantI truly do not understand the Utah Slander on this board. Maybe it is PTSD from the last two years. Get over it.
Utah had the worst QB play in the country last year. The worse.
And still. We were in every game and lost by one possession except Colorado.
Our Defense was second in the conference and top 20 nationally.
Guess what gang our coaches are all still here and most of our dogs are back on D. In fact I think our D will be better so much better than last year just based on experience.
Our ST will be or should be better.
And our offensive staff/system will be better.
So then it all comes down to DD.
All I can say is everyone thinks he is a dog. The entire CFB world. How good will he be ? We will see. BUT. We know we have a stub o-line and our RB room should be better.
That alone with even Average. Average QB play. Not great but Bryson Barnes QB play and we will be 9-3.
You all seem to forget all hard it is to win @ RES.
We nearly won every game at RES last here. And if we had a competent QB we would have.
We will go undefeated @ RES.
Whit loves the underdog no one believes in us role. And I love that TDS is feeling themselves, pumping there chest. They have no idea what is coming for them this year.
No one knows what is going to happen. But the constant 7-5; 6-6; like you guys don’t remember who Utah football is is just sad.
As always Go Utes.

UteanoogaParticipantLove your enthusiasm. Could be a great year, could be a middling year as far as I can tell. The B12 does not have a team stacked with elite starters and elite prospects backing up the starters. So it is hard to be certain about who will succeed.
A great offensive line can make a decent QB look calm, wise, and effective. If the balls bounce our way a bit, and we stay relatively healthy, and Dampier/Beck ball out- it will be playoff time!
On the other hand, if Dampier continues his tendency to throw picks, could Whitt continue green lighting the passing attack or would we tighten up and be predictable?
If the injury bug settles in for repeated and protracted blood letting, and Dampier/Beck can’t make the transition to more competitive play- it will be meh time (and the multitudes calling for Whitt to hang it up).
I am trying to keep expectations low and optimism high. I plan on enjoying the year.

ProudUteParticipantI admire your enthusiasm, I really do. But, I don’t completely agree. A couple of counterpoints.
1. We had a great Oline last season, yet … I understand our QB play was terrible. I blame the coaching staff for that.
2. Our defense lost a lot of key players. Our LB starters are good and very experienced. Our safeties should be okay. But, our Dline is thin and our CBs outside of Snowden are an unknown. This may be our weakest defense in a decade. I truly hope that they excel.
3. Our WR group is a huge question IMO.
4. I am pleased with our starting RB, but there is no depth as far as I know.
I think 9-3 is possible, because I don’t see a team that we cannot beat. But, there are maybe 2 teams on the schedule that you can book as wins. I am excited to see what our offense can do with a great Oline and a gamer at QB. It could be fun. I won’t even try to predict our record because I don’t know how they will all play together. There are too many unknowns.
Go Utes!!
