The last two seasons have taught me not to invest too much emotionally into each game. I know Utah is capable of being very good, but nothing is guaranteed. If we lose, we lose. If we win, great! As long as each game is entertaining.

I’m in the same boat. If it motivates them to work harder and makes our team better, I’m all for it. I just don’t want everyone watching the game to know what is going to happen when certain players come on the field. The only time that should be the case is with a kicker or punter.

I have no problem with 2 way players as long as they aren’t used in predictive ways.

Why would you potentially give UCLA the nod? UCLA also has many new faces, and Utah fans will be more than present.

I still give Utah a 65/35% chance of victory, I like the odds.

I’ve lost faith in Mokofisi. I know he apparently had an injury that NOBODY is willing to say what it is, but he hasn’t improved his PFF grades since his freshman year. Why? Why hasn’t he improved? OLine is an area you should be getting better if you have the reps. I hope someone else wins over him if he’s not going to improve his grades.

I feel like the biggest advantage for Utah against Nico is that it will be his first game in a new system

He’s faced defenses as good or better than Utah’s and played against better athletes. And most people point to the 2nd year starting being the biggest jump in performance. But by getting him early, it should offset the normal progression in performance that teams later in the season will have to deal with.

Utah’s DB’s will need to be assignment sound because he will take chances. There should be opportunities on both sides to make big plays

It was a really long two years

NI was mostly underwhelming against the better opponents Tennessee faced last year.

“Years” being the last 2. Which 2 does qualify as “years”, it is the bare minimum to qualify.

And as has been said in other posts, last year Beck did run more than pass even in an uptempo offense. Which is a common misconception people have even thinking of Oregon and Chip Kelly. I’m Not comparing the 2 directly, but just saying.

Another thing to remember will be, patience. We fans will need to be patient as there will be growing pains. No matter how great or bad Coach Scalley ends up being, no matter how many years of experience he has, there will be adjustments and growing he will learn and go through.

I mean it’s not like any of us on this board ever overreact ………..
