What’s your biggest Ute game this year?

What Ute game are you most excited for?

I’m torn between Washington and USC. Both key games for the conference. 

[UteThunder]

Those are the two for me as well. I lean towards Washington being bigger because it sets the tone for the season. If we win that game, then we are legit contenders for not only the South but for the Pac-12 title. If we lose, then we are behind in the race right from the get go and maybe doubt creeps in that we aren’t good enough.

Washington is one of the most important September games we’ve had in a very long time.

Yup, gotta get in the DeLorean and go all the way back to USC in 2016 or Michigan and Oregon in 2015.  A very long time indeed.

Two most important games….NIU and Arizona or what I call the WTF games.

Two games the Utes will be a favorite and two games the Utes can easily lose if coaching is not up to par.

I’d put UCLA over Arizona as a likely WTF game.

Both the UW and USC games are extremely important. Beat UW and it starts your season off right. Beat USC and you hold the tie breaker. I also agree that we can’t afford ANY WTF losses this year.

Im excited for Weber at this point.  Our schedule is so tough you really could pick any conference game on the schedule and it would be justified.  I will add in BYU-p as I feel we haven’t beat them badly enough the last few years.  I hate them feeling like they have a chance.  Those fans are unbearable and I want them/me to feel like they did after 54-10.  As far as conference goes I would say USC.  We have won the last 2 at home against them and that will be a key game if we are going to have a shot at winning the south.

[Redblood]

USC and Arizona. Both have easier paths. We most likely have to beat both to win the South.

Washington when the season officially begins.

BYU. Because how many they injure could determine s if we win the pac-12 championship and how far we’ll go in the CFP. 😜

Biggest game of the year for me? The next one.

[Smack]

NIU is first for me. But only because I will be there. Having the Utes come out to Illinois is great for us midwestern fans.

Washington is second (objectively, probably should be first). This game could tell us a lot about the rest of the year.

Also live in the midwest.  Utehub appears to not be taking the NIU game serious enough – Hope kwhitt is.

[User Suspended]

Your thinking is what I worry about.  Mentally, Kwhitt may be thinking the same thing.

The NIU match up is  blinking code red as the Utes biggest trap game on the schedule.

Prediction – Utah 23 NIU 21.

Last second 50 yard fiield goal for the win.
