Utah Utes @ Wyoming Cowboys
C'mon, Utes, let's get to 7-0!
| Utah | Wyoming | ||||

Quick Look
Saturday, October 11th, 2008
12:00 MST
War Memorial Stadium, Laramie, Wyoming
TV: mtn.
Radio: KALL 700
What to expect when Utah has the ball: Expect a solid ground game, especially if the weather is as poor as they're predicting. Utah has a good running game and there is no point in risking turning the ball over through the air if they can produce on the ground.
What to expect when Wyoming has the ball: A ton of turnovers. Wyoming's offense is pretty bad and they turn the ball over an awful lot this season. Their offense ranks dead last in the conference in terms of points per game and yards per game. Broken down further, their pass offense is second to last and their rushing offense ranks fifth. So, like Utah, expect them to run the ball, since that's their strongest aspect on offense.
How Utah wins: Defend the run as good as they've done this year, don't give up big plays through the air and don't turn the ball over. Wyoming is not a good team and Utah should not lose this game. If they've exorcised the letdown demons of past, they should win this game rather easily. If they haven't, then Wyoming might just upset the Utes.
Lucky knows how it goes!
Hope to be 15-1 when it's all said and done!

Michigan
just looking worse & worse. Even after beating Wisconsin.
They’re struggling with Toledo right now (including a 100+ yard pick-6 for Toledo)
The Utah Jazz. The Jazz... duh.
The best NBA team in Utah... no doubts about it!
Playing For Pride. Pirates, Utes, Panthers, and more...
Because, in the end, only one team can "win it all".

Is it me or are there a ton of really bad games today?
Syracuse up 7-6 over West Virginia in the 3rd!
Toledo and Michigan 10-10 in the 3rd!
Minnesota over Illinois 14-6 in the 3rd!
Cincinnati up 13-7 over Rutgers in the 3rd!
Kansas up 9-7 over Colorado in the 3rd!
Is weather just really bad across the country? heh low scoring games.

Don't know WTF Wyoming was doing on that kickoff return.
Good defensive play by Utah to start the game. I expect Wyoming to run, or at least try to run, a lot this game.

Yikes, Utah has a quick 3 and out. Offense looking a little disconnected on that last play.

Jesus, we've yet to get a first down in this game.
Our offense should be rolling and it looks like we’re playing an SEC-style defense.

They're definitely forcins us to pass more.
But when we’re running, we’re getting 2-3 yards.

Well that drive sucked.
This is the worst Utah’s offense has looked all season. It’s playing just as poorly as it did against the Beavers in the 2nd half, except Wyoming isn’t Oregon State.

Good defense there on 3rd and four.
Or was it just a bad offensive play calling by Wyoming?

Sooner or later, Wyoming's defense is going to give up a big play and Utah will score.

I wouldn't mind that.
Utah faced a 3rd and 1 and they passed instead of just running it.
WTF?

When will the offense just click?
We should be up 21 or 28-0 right now.

We are most definitely a great defensive team, that has short bursts of offensive brilliance broken up by long periods of play that induces head banging

It's a shame. The offense looked so promising earlier in the year.
It feels like’s really regressed over the weeks.
Week One: Great first half against Michigan.
Week Two: Great second half against UNLV
Week Three: Great all around game against Utah State
Week Four: Offense begins its stumble against Air Force
Week Five: Offense looks lethargic against Weber
Week Six: Offense has bursts, but that’s just it.

I'm still trying to figure out how we're up 27-0.
Hopefully we can come out and score a few more TDs on offense.

27-0 at the half
Now lets hope Ludwig doesn’t go even more conservative in the second half

Yup, big time. Utah gives the Cowboys their first TD in conference play.
This is my biggest complaint about Whittingham, he eases up in every game. So the final score is going to look like 35-21 or something like that and it’ll appear closer than it really was.

Perfect Saturday . . .
. . . to have after an exhausting and emotional game like OSU.
Utah really did not show, and now we know the pokes are indeed so lowly we did not have to.
