Thanks for sharing your thoughts, which I hope are right!

I’m a long time Bruin fan who has a son at Utah. I route for the Utes every game except for this one. It’s been great being a fan of Utah since UCLA hasn’t done anything relevant in over 30 years. As difficult as last year was for the Utes, I still think they had more to build on coming into this season vs. the Bruins. The Bruins have an entire new offense and lost a lot of key talent on the defense. They have yet to win a meaningful game under Coach Foster and I don’t believe they will win this game. The game will be close but the Utes D will pull it off. I’m looking forward to seeing the Utes offensive improvements.

Wow, the voters have really gotten drunk on the Kenny Dillingham ASU Kool Aid. I look forward that team to have a pretty drastic correction with essentially a regression to the mean. They’re absolutely not sneaking up on anybody this season.

We are historically bad in the early season, and on the road.

Lots of PTSD as results of two seasons of injured QBs. Even Urban had to get started with what he could starting late in the recruiting cycle. Like Meyer Beck did inherit some good pieces and can have a good first year. I want to give the new offense a chance and see if it lives up being a contender. No reason to relate the new offense to the old offense, it has the feel of different.

Don’t forget that Bernard was a pleasant surprise last year. When he had his scooter accident and wasn’t sure if he was coming back, nobody was freaking out. He outplayed expectation like crazy last year.

I expect this year to be the same. RB is one of those positions that you translates much easier from G5 to P4. I optimistic that they will have success and continue to average 5 yards a carry!

Go Utes!

What I ask myself is this: are any of these guys better than Jackson or Bernard? Personally, I don’t think so but we shall see as the offense is new and we’ll have a healthy #1 QB running the show. I have to agree with Yergensen in that that my reservoir of good will and trust is pretty much tapped out after all of the shenanigans that took place during the last two seasons. Used to be that you could pencil in six-seven automatic wins on a PAC schedule. Right now, I have a hard time pencilling in more than two or three.

My goodness guys – There is more talent in the running back room this season, there is better coaching in the running back room and there are two all-American tackles on the O’line. I’m guessing our offensive coordinator knows all of these things and will particularly use those tackles to spring running backs (and whomever else runs the ball) to the second level.

Oh, and I hear our quarterback can run.

He was RB2 at the number 1 rushing offense in THE NATION (D1 football)!

Also, do I need to remind you that Skatabo, who was a helluva RB at ASU played at a D2 school before transferring to ASU.

I’m confident that, given the o-line, this Utah offense is going to be very good, possibly great!

Exactly. And if you can make it past year four, you get the NFL pension.
