A Little Motivation for the Utes Offense
Just somethings that are being written and said about the game:
Predictions 101: TCU to take care of Utah
By NBCSPORTS Commentator John Tramanaha:
Who says there isn't a "playoff" in college football? Here's a BCS
elimination game right here, with the Mountain West Conference title essentially on the line.
Utah, which has rushed for an average of 260 yards in its last two
games, will be going up against a TCU rushing defense that leads the nation, allowing just 38.9 yards per game on the ground. The Horned Frogs also rank second nationally in total defense (214.5) and third in scoring defense (10.8). Last Saturday's 44-14 win at UNLV broke a streak of four games in which the TCU defense allowed just seven points, including the 32-7 victory over BYU on Oct. 16.
As a freshman last season Horned Frog quarterback Andy Dalton attempted a whopping 45 passes versus Utah and four of them were intercepted in a 27-20 Ute victory. Recent times have been kinder and he'll enter this contest with lots of positive vibes, having thrown nine touchdown passes and no picks in the last three games.
Utah has much less momentum, having struggled its way through a 13-10 win at New Mexico last Saturday. TCU opened this season with a 26-3 victory over those same Lobos on Aug. 30 in Albuquerque.
TCU 24-20
