I’m a pessimist that picked 7-5. I don’t have any for sure losses but have been around long enough to not get sucked into the hype machine. Life is always better to be pleasantly surprised than disappointed. I don’t have any for sure losses but still pick the Utes at 7-5.

I don’t expect him to choose Utah, but will be very shocked if he does. If he does, more power to Utah. However, with him being the highest rated 5 star coming out of Utah, I would expect him to pick the highest bidder.

“I was Donald’s closest friend for 10 years.” When asked about the man Epstein said “The moral compass just
does not exist.” You worship a man a pedophile is disgusted by.

So why doesn’t a man whose biggest campaign promise was to release that list, release the list? Should be easy, right?

[PhillyUte]

Yawn. Whatever bud. Never said anything about left or right. Go Utes!

[Tony (admin)]

You go girl.

No reason except we aren’t at the top of the NIL chain.

Yes, that is the only reason and I think Nico Iamgoingtoleaveformoney is better than anything Colorado has but that’s just me

Utah had a pretty easy schedule for a P4 team last year. It was their easiest schedule since the MWC days. They won two conference games. Yes, they were a decent QB away from maybe being in contention for the Big 12 title but that team still couldn’t take advantage of a Big 12 that didn’t have one stand-out team and all the big players, sans ASU, at home. Utah shouldn’t have needed even a serviceable QB to beat Arizona in Salt Lake City. Arizona was dog crap last year and they walked into RES and bullied the Utes – a year after they bullied ’em down in Tucson and Utah was supposed to come out and hit ’em with revenge.

I think it’s safe to say this year’s schedule is much more improved, which also means that any improvement Utah sees on offense because of more consistent quarterback play could be neutralized by a defense that has some questions on the defensive line and a harder overall schedule. So, maybe Utah only sees marginal improvement in the won/loss record.

And that’s not even getting into the real chance that Whittingham has regressed as a coach and we’re seeing that regression.

So, I think it is reasonable to believe 7-5 is a realistic prediction for this team. They’ve still got a lot of questions, even on offense, to believe otherwise.

Not sure how you could put Kansas and UCLA there but not BYU. That game is generally scary even when Utah is okay (I still remember the half-assed first half of the 2018 game and the rapid, and desperate, comeback to pull out a stunning win). That game scares me because BYU has had Utah’s number the last two times they’ve played and are likely going to be a pretty good team anyway.

Any road game scares me if I’m being honest because Utah has a history of not playing all that great away from Salt Lake City.

I’m even nervous for that Wyoming game. I think Utah wins – maybe even comfortably in the end – but it would not surprise me if it was a similar game to USU game in Logan last year.

Read a X post yesterday from one of our Ute insiders (forgot exactly who) that it is still between us and Tennessee.

On another note, on 247sports it states that Moa is now a composite 5-star:

“Local standout Salesi Moa jumped 0.0139 points in the composite ranking, going from 0.9712 to 0.9850. That jump would put him in the top half of the risers if he commits to Utah. With that jump, Moa became a composite five-star. If he commits to Utah on July 31, that would make him the highest-ever commit for the Utes. Moa would also be the first-ever composite five-star to commit to Utah”.
