Warrior Ute

I have thought that the Utes are similar to the teams Ohio State has struggled with this season. 
This writer who breaks down the Ohio State matchups views us as a “nightmare”
A Match-up Nightmare for the Silver Bullets
I think their offense may also be a nightmare match up for us. We have tons of injuries in the secondary going against some of…[Read more]

I have posted about the group previously.  vettix.org gives tickets to veterans.  They are currently in the lottery phase and winners will be selected tonight.  If not all are claimed it will free to any veterans.
Good Luck!

I was looking at the rushing touchdown records.  According to wikipedia the Utah Single season record is 15 held by two people:
John White – 2011
Zach Moss – 2019
Right now Tavion Thomas is tied for 3rd with 14 (Marty Johnson, 2004). 
Tavion didn’t start as RB1 and was held out some due to his dropsies.  I knew he was doing well, but was very…[Read more]

Stanford stadium tickets are cheap.  We were considering tickets on the Utah side, towards the center.  We were looking at row 20 and first row.  My wife wanted to be down close to support the team.  We ended up on the 40 yard line on the front row.  The tickets were cheaper than the get in price for tickets to Rice-Eccles  These observations…[Read more]

Brett Ciancia has always been high on the Utes.  He puts Oregon #10 and Washington #12 ahead of us from the PAC 12.  He has often talked us up but many of his predictions in 2018 and 2019 played out.  He has from the south Arizona State at 17 and USC at 21. 
Here is an early quote on how he views this years team:

As the roster cycles ebb and…

Go Utes!
 
Go Hawks!

I just recentll tuned in to the game.  I know that Air Force is supposed to be down 35-40 players because of players taking a semester off due to Covid.  This is their first game of the season and they are still beating Navy 33 to 7 in the third.

They give away free teckets to veterans and first responders.  It is a pretty great organization.  I recieved my tickets today.  I am in section 109, lower level corner/side seats about row 30.  If you qualify to get the tickets it can make the trip cheaper.  Hope to see some of you there!

Veterans and first responders can sign up and get free tickets to the game.  About 200 left currently.

1. This football team and the players that chose to come back to make this a special season.
2. UteHub, Tony for creating it and all of those who make it a great community.
3. The potential to see this team play for a conference championship and beyond.

I love the confidence of the team.

Utah safety Julian Blackmon on the statement the Utes hope to make right now: “That we’re here. And I hope you’re ready because if we get to the playoffs, we’re gonna beat somebody’s brains in. That’s it.” Utah is extremely confident and rightfully so. One of the more…

There is often a complaint about the PAC 12 strength of schedule and it impacting our rankings. I thought I would compare the AP top 10 teams” strengths of schedules as rated by Sagarin and Massy and rank them 1 to 10.
 
Sagarin Massey
LSU 4 3
Alabama 9 8
Ohio St 2 4
Clemson 10 10
Penn St 5 5
Georgia 8 9
Oregon 3 2
Utah 6 6

Made me think of our game at the end of the first half.  They got the touchdown on the next play.  Hopefully that changes the game for them.

I think it could be argued 3 of the best defenses in the Pac 12 are Utah, Cal and Oregon.  Washington has faced two of them and lost to both.
Both Cal and Oregon we have faced two common opponents with Utah:
– Cal faced OSU and ASU.  Utah allowed OSU 64 fewer yards and ASU 229 fewer yards.
– Oregon faced WSU and Cal.  Utah allowed WSU 133 fewer…[Read more]
