#14 Utah Utes @ #4 TCU Horned Frogs Game Day Thread
Utah Utes at TCU Horned Frogs, Nov 14, 2009 5:30 PM MST
DO IT NOW, UTAH!

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?
Me mum back in Limerick makes a killer frog pie...just sayin'.

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.
with cain, the spread is closer to 14 than 21.

I think the adjustment is wrong.
Wynn opens up our offense.
BCS Evolution -- Punctuating the Equilibrium - twitter
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.

Golly. This is one exciting game.
Can’t wait for tonight….
BYU really struggling with New Mexico.
The Lobos won’t win, but they’re giving the Cougars their best game any team has not named Oklahoma, FSU or TCU.
Stanford-USC
Cardinals just scored to go up 35-21 over the Trojans, 4th quarter..#12 Miami losing to UNC in the 4th as well
Pete Carroll thinks USC fans are uneducated
for booing the Trojans.

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.
we're getting our asses kicked up front.

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.
Sack by Hughes. Fuck me.
Gotta get rid of the ball.

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.
you'll probably see us in some wildcat
to try and get the ground game going

that punt was doomed from the start....
nothing against TCU but that ugly punt was more what Utah didn’t do than what TCU did right. With a snap like that almost anybody can block it.
we're so out of sorts tonight.
two illegal substitution penalties? fuck me.

Fully agreed, at the very least to not give TCU a short field while the offense is still clicking. Otherwise this game could get ugly before the Utes get their feet under them.

I think I'm out. Yeah...call me a bandwagon fan, but I can't take it.
I need to do something before I rip the head off the neighbor kid.
If Utah can get points on their next possession they’ll make a game of it. It’s a bit early to be bailing out.
our defense looks atrocious.

Well, I’m off to drink myself into a two week coma. See you for BYU, everyone!
Honors B.A. 1999
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.
in all fairness
a part of me knew this could have been ugly…but I was really hoping we would make this a real good one instead of imploding in the first half…..
well at least someone here is enjoying the game
sorry for being a * HawkyFrog……but I have lots of love for my Utes.Now that I’ve had my tantrum I feel a little better…..
I still wouldn’t count you guys out, a field goal before the half and the game will be interesting as all get out in the second half.
Interesting to know my inner Texan still pops out on the internet, despite living in Australia for four years.

Looks like all the Utah fans are gone
I just left the bar I was watching the game at. Now I can’t watch the game. ESPN gamecast takes forever to update.
There was absolutely no quite in the Utes in this game, unlike when the Frogs played BYU. Your guys played hard to the end, and that’s something to be proud of. I have the utmost respect for you guys, good luck against BYU and in the Las Vegas bowl!
