The Utes are back. For a week, anyway.
After getting embarrassed by TCU last Saturday, Utah dominated an emotionally exhausted San Diego State team for their ninth win of the season.
It was a very good performance by both the Utes' offense and defense. The defense pitched a shutout for nearly the entire game and you sensed the offense packed it in after Utah went up 38-0 right before the half. This game could have been a lot uglier than it actually was, but the Utes certainly pulled back a bit. Maybe they don't want to tempt the Karma Gods before the big showdown with BYU next Saturday.
Anyway, good win. Now the focus moves to the Cougars and hopefully Utah can win their tenth game of the season and second straight over BYU.
You guys ready for Holy War Week? I am.

They crushed SDSU
But the offense is still lagging, still not hitting on all 8.
BYU looks beter than they have recently, you never know which BYU team will show up, but the same can be said of Utah.
I hope we smoke them.
Yeah. I think BYU should be the favorites...
They have an offense that will score on Utah. If we’re going to have a chance, our offense needs to step it up – especially the run offense, which is questionable because the Cougars have a really good run defense.
I won’t ever pick against the Utes, but I’m not sure what to think this week. If I had to bet, I’d say BYU by 7-10 points. If it were here, I’d say good guys by 3.
But anything can happen!
Okay, I take that back...
BYU didn’t look all that impressive this week. I just finished watching the game and they did jump on the Falcons early, but much of that was due to turnovers. Once they got up by a nice margin, they had a helluva time putting them away and Air Force made things a bit interesting.
BYU’s defense gave up 214 yards on the ground. That isn’t entirely bad because it’s the Falcons, but Utah gave up a similar number (254).
I think their defense is still extremely questionable and we stop Unga, we win.
Agreed. The biggest thing for the Ute’s D will be to stop both Unga and Tonga. We do that and make Hall win the game, we come away with the W.
I hope Coach Sitake saw the way that BYU used the backs out of the backfield on the swing passes…I want Dale and Sly to blow those things up.

They can’t handle the pressure.

BYU can't hang with the Ute Defense
Hall will throw at least 3 interceptions, including a pick-6 to RoJo
