Win decisively, and I think it means we have a great team that just didn’t get up for Weber or NIU. Legit Pac-12 contenders. 11+ wins is a real possibility.

I’m shocked.

How much of this is Wisconsin not taking BYU seriously after what they did to them last year, and how much is BYU being better/Wisconsin not being that great?

After a decisive Utah win, Kyle admits that we didn’t do any opponent specific game prep for Weber or NIU, choosing instead to focus solely on preparing for Washington. He then goes on to say that he probably wouldn’t do it that way again, but it worked out so no big deal.
If we win but don’t hear that, I think that means we are definitely going…[Read more]

Kind of hard to believe after seeing how poorly we played yesterday, but Utah would be 26th in the AP and 27th in the Coaches if the polls went that far.

For their “SuperDog” picks. Herby made it clear they aren’t necessarily picking an upset, just to cover. 
 

A few have voiced their displeasure(?), confusion(?), frustration(?) with Penn State remaining in the top 10 after beating Appalachian State.
In 2008, were you bothered when Utah moved up from #11 to #10 after beating a 4-5 at the time, and eventually 4-8, New Mexico team by a score of just 13-10?
That Appalachian State win will probably end up…[Read more]

41-0 & 414 – That is the score and total yardage we put up against Northern Colorado in 2012. 
70-7 & 628 – That is the score and total yardage we put up against Weber State in 2013. 
We finished 5-7 both of those seasons.
Now, I’m not saying we are going to finish 5-7, I actually think we will go 9-3 or 10-2. But the point is this: There is…[Read more]

Utah – I had us going 10-2 with losses to Stanford and Oregon. I feel less confident about our chances against ASU, Colorado, and BYU who all looked signifcantly better than they were a year ago. Right now I say we finish 9-3 with the additional loss coming @ ASU or @ Colorado.
BYU – I had them at 6-6 with wins against Cal, McNeese St., Hawaii,…[Read more]

Makes Swiss Cheese look like a brick wall.

I didn’t watch much of Arizona last year other than when we played them. Does Tate always look this disinterested? Every time they show him on the sideline he looks like he would rather be anywhere but in this game.

If we are going to eject players for targeting, then there should be different levels of targeting similar to flagrant fouls in the NBA.
So many targeting penalties are questionable, even with slow-motion replay. For blatant targeting(think, crown of the helmet to the facemask), yeah, eject that player. But for so many other plays where it’s…[Read more]
