      Royce or Booker?

      Booker. I think Royce has a tougher front seven to run against.

        I just watched the ESPNU Film Room and it was all about Royce, no mention of Booker. But one of them said that Utah could upset. So they got that going for them haha.

      Definitely Booker. We have a very good run defense and Oregon cant tackle, so how will they be able to stop Bookmode?

        True, but Utah also has the tendency to give up big runs up the center like they did against Nick Wilson (UA) last year and that’s the type of runner Royce is.

          I’d actually argue this year that we are much more stout against the run in the middle than last year. Our DTs are probably our best and deepest position at this point.

          For some reason when Utah plays UofA we suddenly dont look like Utah anymore, they are our kryptonite. Arizona doesnt do to bad against Oregon either now that I think about it.

          I’m not saying we wont give up any big runs, I just think we will give up less than they do. Put it this way, Booker and Freeman could switch teams and I’d say Freeman would have the bigger game. Or maybe Im just biased.

          Gionni Paul was injured for the UA game last year. Jason Whittingham played awful in his place.

      Can’t wait to see in a real conference game.

      Pease>Royce. Utah’s rush defense is very good.

      My heart says Booker. My mind also says Booker. They rarely agree.

      Depends on the effectiveness of Oregon’s pass game early on. If they burn our DBs deep, then I believe Freeman is going to have a field day since we’ll probably step up the pass rush and play the safeties in softer coverage.

      Booker will get his yards and we will feed him 30+ times. I’d guess he hits 5 ypc and finishes with 150+ yards on the ground.
