Utes stretch winning streak to 15 with win over Aggies

Resized_tiny by JazzyUte on

Might not have been the greatest or prettiest win in Utah history, but the Utes took care of business tonight and beat an upstart Utah State team seeking to make a name for themselves.

I won't fully get into the game (that'll come later), but the Utes played about as well as I thought they would (I did pick them to win 35-13 and I was pretty much spot on). Terrance Cain, though, impressed me. He wasn't great, but I thought he'd struggle a bit more than he did. 

If there is a surprise, it was the defense  - though they played decent enough in the second half. 

Ultimately, we knew things could be difficult for Utah and while it wasn't as good as I had hoped - it wasn't nearly as bad as it could have been. 

So until I throw up a full recap, let's hear your thoughts. Grade the game and let me know what you thought.

I'd give this one a B

remember it’s the first game of the season and the players and coaches will take this game as a learning experience. the offense did come out looking sharp and other than that big run the defense did a fairly good job. so i’d give them a B

B-B+ for a first game

I look at how thoroughly unprepared Oregon was and I have to say: with the turnover we had on offense, early loss of Smith and Kruger (lots of leadership and talent gone there), and all the off season BCS/Quarterback distractions I was happy with them—they should only improve.

Utes to win out and BCS party like it’s 2009.
