Quick Look

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.
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.
I don't have the MTN, is Wyoming loading up the box making us pass?

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.
It's like were just going through the motions
Go Utes

Definitely aren't playing with fire.
Just want to get the win and leave, but we need to really pound ’em hard.
Call me crazy, but i'd rather see a long, slow, drive where we just chip away 4 to 5 yards a play
Go Utes

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.
Ugh
Is Air Force, or OSU our best win
Go Utes

Wow up 27-0 after that half of football.
Got to be happy with that, but it hasn’t been pretty
Go Utes
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.
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.
Game!
Utah 40, Wyoming 7!
Ugly game, but a win is a win.
The Utah Jazz. The Jazz... duh.
The best NBA team in Utah... no doubts about it!
Playing For Pride. Pirates, Utes, Panthers, and more...

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.
