Ask again after this week. OSU and WSU will be tested against USC and Oregon.
Otherwise Utah can split Oregon and USC, but not lose another and expect to return to the P12 championship.
– Utah (8-1) does not play UW, WSU (Away), Oregon (Away), OSU (Home), USC (Home) goes 3-1, beating USC
– Oregon (9-0) does not play USC, WSU (Away), OSU…[Read more]

If moving to B12, or a P12 with San Diego and Fresno added, Utah my be comparable to to Penn State and Georgia, within these conferences. Every year and chance to win, with a chance to go to the future CFB playoff. Otherwise Arkansas and Minnesota, considering recruiting, instate fan support. Otherwise I root for Wisconsin.

This is my CFB (and Utah) bye week. I will be watching the lead fly into a trout’s mouth. After that every week a game through the middle of January.
I expect the Utes will iron out a few kinks, on Saturday. Many of them illustrated in other blogs; the Linebacker and Wide receivers will be the focus this weekend, before taking on the last OOC…[Read more]

Agree with the Popeye’s reference. Maybe one of his buddies, tagged him with a nickname.
“Jaylon was upset the other day man, got home, and blew a gasket, when he opened his Popeyes. Damn it! 2 piece, no biscuit'” Angry at the time, funny later.

I wish I was over TDS, but I watched/attended too many Utah-BYU games in the 70s and 80s. But at least I’m no longer in therapy.

“Pound Sand” BYU. Harsh but true.

tarheelute started the topic Transfer Portal Rules – Are there any? in the forum Football 2 years, 2 months ago
Does the transfer portal have rules similar to recruiting, i.e. visits, contacts? Are teams allowed to contact a player prior to their transfer announcement, or can say a team like USC cherry-pick the best players that say Wyoming or Colorado have developed? I think even the NFL does not let their teams contact or negotiate with other teams…[Read more]

I will wear/use my Rose Bowl (Polo, Hat, couple running shirts, and a shot glass) with pride, happy with the 2021 championship, happy still with attending the Rose Bowl game. Money well spent all around. I have a Utah-Alabama Sugar Bowl hat that I have worn out, a Sun Bowl hat that hangs in my game room. But I don’t know where my Holiday Bowl…[Read more]
tarheelute replied to the topic This year vis a vis 2004 and 2008. in the forum Football 2 years, 3 months ago
For us older fans, the progression provided key dates, when we new things had changed. The twin 34-31 wins cleared the template with defeating BYU and winning the MWC as bell-weathers. I was angry/disappointed with the firing of McBride, but it turned out to be clear message from the UofU AD that expectations had changed. Obviously, the 2004 and…[Read more]

My seat was not the greatest on Saturday, and I won’t get to watch the broadcast until ESPN repeats later this week.
So, what did OSU do than neutralized the Defensive Line and the line-backers, particularly Lloyd? If that is not a fair assessment, please advise.
What I saw was congestion in the middle of the lines, with most of the action…[Read more]
tarheelute started the topic Tussle After the Game – Punch thrown by Tevita Fotu in the forum Football 2 years, 3 months ago
Some Ohio State fans are not happy with Tevita Fotu. A video shows him taking a swing at an Ohio State player at the end of the game. Not a great look, but isolated with no damage done. I expect Coach Whittingham will make a learning experience from this.

The Utes are the best chance for PAC-12 recognition this year. The Oregon “Lame” Ducks in the Rose bowl is a letdown for them and the PAC-12, considering earlier CFP expectations. The Utes are the only team with expectations that can be reasonably met at the Rose bowl.

tarheelute replied to the topic Oregon – Utah matchup in the forum Football 2 years, 5 months ago
The coaching staff will address special teams and penalties. My worry is the defense, not that they will be bad, just not good enough – without some preparation and focus this week – which I expect. Oregon has watched the tape of the Utah-Arizona game. If Arizona’s offensive scheme caused mix-ups by the Utah secondary, Oregon may try to do…[Read more]
tarheelute replied to the topic Could this be true??? in the forum Football 2 years, 5 months ago
DNA notwithstanding, I agree that Whittingham could not accept losing on the 20th as a strategy to go to the Rose bowl. And how do you coach players play to lose? – purposely miss a tackle here, drop a pass or a punt, there, etc. Seems unethical to contemplate, certainly to execute, similar to throwing a game.
