Happened against Jr. (Stanford)

Jaylon Johnson for longest.

Devon Lloyd for shortest.

Yep, you got it–I had forgotten about Lloyd’s 2 yard pick6 until I saw a highlight earlier this afternoon.

I was thinking the same as baller.

If I can piggyback. Can he give us more granular details?

Is Levani Damuni 100% healthy? How does he look?

Who will play Right Guard?

I’m hearing whisperings of a very solid secondary. Do you agree?

What about this Pupu Sepulona kid? Will he play this year?

Will the True Freshman kicker start and can he perform under pressure? Can we kick it into the endzone on kickoffs?

Can either of the main running backs hurt the defenders?

What about Sydney Sweeney, anything?

The vibe is only asWell for as long as it lasts. Then what?

Utah has had plenty of seasons where the preseason vibe shattered pretty early.

2022 with the loss to Florida at the start of the season – then UCLA few weeks later.

2021 with the loss to BYU and then SDSU.

2019 with the loss to USC.

In those seasons, Utah largely pushed back and recaptured the good vibes that followed the preseason expectations. Even if 2019 ended poorly, they still didn’t let the USC loss define them. Nor did they let the BYU and SDSU losses in 2021 and the Florida and UCLA losses in 2022 define them.

But last year, we saw the vibe completely collapse after the Arizona game and Utah couldn’t turn it around for a bevy of reasons.

Utah is going to have a bad loss. It’s pretty much a given under Whitt (outside one season) . What happens after that loss will define the season and really, maybe his legacy. If Utah comes out and 2019-2022’s it, we’re great. If the wheels come off like last year, especially if that tough loss comes at the start of the season? Welp.

[BeachUte]

I’m solely going off what the vibe was prior to the season. It was not bad either year. In fact, last year’s vibe was pretty positive as Utah looked geared up for a potential playoff run. Even 2023 was still pretty high because most everyone was being misled by Cam’s injury and everyone thought he’d be out for only a handful of games… and likely back for Pac-12 play.

The point is, I can’t recall a recent season where Utah entered with bad vibes and a resignation from the fans that the season would likely be extremely difficult.

The vibes are always good. It’s why I don’t trust them.

[Central Coast Ute]

I’ve always liked Utah Man. I believe they were the first in the market to get Bret Ciancia on.

[Jim Vanderhoof]

Maybe I should have said a different vibe. Everyone talks a big story at the start. Last year I drank the koolaide and thought the vibe was great. Six games in the vibe was gone. It’s a topic question you can interpret however you feel. Do you feel a different vibe from last year? I do.
