Oregon State - Sat, Dec 5 8:30PM - ESPN
as usual, stop the run first. force their hand. mariotta is gone. make adams beat us. this is probably the best shot we’ve ever had at beating them. there are kinks in their armor especially on defense. also, don’t be p**sed off if we play ball control. gotta run clock on the ucks
I hope so. We held him under 100 last year and got killed. But, no Marriota does make a big difference because Marriota had over 100 yards against us.
IF we can keep their ground attack under control, and IF we can keep Adams in the pocket, and IF we can continue our efficient, long, grinding, 12+ play drives for points, then I REALLY like our chances.
I’m not sure about that if Adams Jr. throws for over 300 yards and has 50+ yards on the ground. Utah — to win this game — has to keep the Duck offense off the field and that means the Ute offense needs to sustain drives which means convert on 3rd down!
Can the ‘D’ and Special Teams score TD’s Saturday? They’re gonna have to for Utah to have a chance.
I think that with Adam’s finger being hurt, his throws wont be as sharp and the interceptions will continue for us. I dont think we win without the defense/special teams producing points.
practicing posting a pic.

So when you’re on that page you linked, right click the image and select “Copy Image URL” or “Copy Image Location”, then paste that into the field with the tag on the top of the posting field.
should read like this below (but with “<” instead of “[” at the beginning)

SUCCESS ! never done that before.
Congrats!
We need to keep adams in the pocket, I know occasionally we are able to keep mobile QBs contained ie. Taysom Hill 2 years ago. But sometimes they are picking up big yardage on broken plays ie. Chuckie all 3 times we played him. What’s the difference in defensive strategy that accounts for this?
Having a spy. Either a SS or a LB that is required to spy the QB and make sure if he breaks contain that there is someone to route him into traffic or the sideline, or that can step up and make a tackle.
We had a spy against Utah state, didnt seem to help
Then the DLine needs to be more disciplined in their rush lanes. If its a definite passing situation, then the QB should not be able to break contain to gain yards…but there are athletes in this conference at QB who are capable of defeating even the best Defensive plans for them. I personally don’t think Adams is one of them, but we also can’t sleep on him either.

Happy birthday coach K, the real one.
Happy Birthday, Coach K!
Booker would have had more rushing yard, but we had to go away from the run a little playing behind all game.
Heart attack! I saw your headline our of the corner of my eye and thought it said, “Booker’s status for Oregon game.”
was this supposed to have a link?
EDIT: DOPE! it loaded right as I hit the submit on this reply.
Cool. I was worried that it didn’t work.
Gotta say, besides the fact that he’s at Oregon, I like this guy.
I like what he says, but his body language makes me appreciate Kyle’s badass calm demeanor, his figiting is distracting.
Very complimentary. Makes it hard not to like him. Also, just listening to him talk about Utah gets me pumped!!!
GO UTES!!!!
Thanks for posting this.
If you’ve listened to 1280 this morning, PK has told an anecdote several times about being at Ute practice. Apparently, one of the staff said to him, “We’ve got this.” After PK looked at him disbelievingly, the coach (?) said to him, “NO, we’ve got this.”
I’ll have to admit, it got me a bit excited that Utah could come away from Oregon with a win.
Oregon’s coaches will probably be relating the story to their players later on.
I’m not surprised by the level of confidence. We had a solid game plan against them last year and, despite the “drop heard round the world” we fought and hung with them for 3.5 quarters.
If we can avoid those big mistakes, limit Oregon’s scoring opportunities and keep them under 30 points, get some offensive progression in the pass game, and play a full 60 minutes then I like our chances.
Let’s go Duck hunting, UTES!!!
Go Utes BEAT OR!!!!…we got this!
My concern is whether we can score enough points.
The years that Stanford was able to beat Oregon, they had ga me plans that kept Oregon from scoring a bunch of points. I feel this year’s Utah squad has the tools to replicate the smothering defense of those Stanford teams and keep Oregon from scoring…I hope.
Should an undefeated Pac-12 team go to the playoffs in this short season?
