Complete Coverage >


What to expect when Utah has the ball: I still think the Utes will stay fairly conservative in this one. Eddie Wide and Sausan Shakerin will need to step it up big time because I have a feeling Utah will look for ball control for much of the game. Jordan Wynn might be good, but he's still starting in only his second game (first on the road). That's going to be difficult to overcome, so I don't foresee Aaron Roderick calling too many aggressive plays that put Wynn in the position to make those rookie mistakes. 

What to expect when TCU has the ball: They like to mix it up on offense, but I think the Frogs - like Utah - will stick to the ground. That isn't to say Andy Dalton won't throw, but the Utes' pass defense is one of the best in the nation.

How Utah wins: No turnovers, contain the Frog offense and hope the defense can force a few turnovers themselves. Even one interception or fumble could be the difference here. 

Lucky G. O'Utes is ready for the biggest game of the year. He feels it. Do you?

I'm glad they said TCU wouldn't roll Utah.

I think had we gone with Cain, maybe we pull Herbstreit over, even though I think Wynn gives us a better chance to win.

I think the adjustment is wrong.

Wynn opens up our offense.

but I understand why

Wynn’s presence makes people think more of TCU. It’s his first road start, and he hasn’t played anyone worth a damn up to this point.

When you give up 55 points, at home, you negate any complaints about booing.

Generally I am anti-booing. I hated seeing the fans boo Brian Johnson during the Oregon State game.

However, sometimes it is needed. Nothing shows a team your displeasure more than letting them know you’re not happy with the play on the field by showering them with boos.

It’s not uneducated. Classless? Possibly. But c’mon. They got rocked! They were playing for the BCS and they got absolutely slaughtered.

Has to be the worst home game since the Paul Hackett days.

Dalton came out overexcited about redemption against Utah, but he seems to be settling in ok. Utah needs to hit him on the next possession to try and untrack him, or he’s going to be hitting the intermediate routes all day.

From what I've seen, TCU should have no trouble scoring on us.

Our offense played well on that drive, but I’m not expecting us to break more than 21-points…which means we better hope we shut you out the rest of the game.

You guys need a sustained drive on the next possession, it doesn’t necessarily have to end in a touchdown, but stay on the field so you don’t get shell-shocked like BYU did last year.

Sad that the TCU fan here is still not confident this game is over. Big things can happen in a half, and TCU has melted down before. A game against Tech springs to mind where we were up 28-0, ended up losing 70-35 or something equally ridiculously disheartening.

I’m going to assume that this TCU team was (much) better than that TCU team. I now hope that TCU gets a quality opponent in their BCS game (unlike the Utes for the Fiesta Bowl) and stomps said opponent into paste as well.
