I hear it's windy...

Not sure who that benefits, since Sunseri throwing the ball is a good thing for us…but I don’t trust Hays arm yet.

Good luck from the pac

This game is going to come down to who can run better. And honestly they need to go away fromo the shot gun and go under center… im shocked how bad this wind is

Wow...good hustle by Hays...

If there’s one thing you have to credit him with, it’s hustle. Love that about him.

by Middy_U on Oct 15, 2011 10:17 AM MDT reply actions  

so game plan today....

Stack the box and stop the run, and put your money that their QB can’t consistantly complete passes? He doesn’t zip it in there and looked pretty bad with that wind

by Kazper on Oct 15, 2011 10:22 AM MDT reply actions  

What is annoying there

you can see the guy just trying to make a big hit rather than actually wrapping it like he should… thats just another stupid mental error

If Hays can read the Blitz and take advantage Utes will score more points

I have done some math...

and come to the conclusion that if we get at least three points, that will be sixteen, which is more than fourteen. Your welcome.

Every game, every week.

Come on over to ATQ in the week leading up to Washington State and you’ll think we’re about to play LSU again. We fretted and worried and worked ourselves into a PANIC!!!! about Arizona. We were practically committing suicide when Cal…Cal’d us again in the first half last Thursday. So, yes, I’m nervous. I’m under no illusion, for one thing, that you can just plug in KJB and DAT and make people forget about The Mike. KJB is a fine RB and DAT is extraordinarily talented, but James is a GREAT college running back.

I hope not...

Cause I think, next to Cal, Pitt is the hardest team on this schedule (well, the second half).

If we can beat them, we can beat ANYONE left on the schedule.

by JazzyUte on Oct 15, 2011 1:16 PM MDT up reply actions  

We can beat anyone...

But I don’t see us running the table and I am convinced we are going to lose to the Beavers because of the whole black out thing.

Arizona and CU are just bad, that's 2.

The rest are schizo, and you can’t mark any of them with a “W” or an “L” at this point. And remember your FCS win doesn’t count, so you need an extra win.

Arizona?

What? They haven’t been any FBS teams this seasons.

by Ute in DC on Oct 15, 2011 1:18 PM MDT up reply actions  

It doesn't matter what Cal did against USC.

It matters how they match up with the Utes. Your offense is…struggling. Their defense is pretty good. Their offense is hit-or-miss.

by BigGreenWreckingMachine on Oct 15, 2011 1:23 PM MDT up reply actions  

my point is cal's offense isn't anything special

that’s why i’m far less worried about them. i don’t mean to come across as if i’m not worried at all about facing them

If ever the "grind" were to get us

flying to Pittsburgh, playing at 10:00 am, would be the game where it would rear its head.

Pac-10 vets tell me that the grind is only in conference...

must have heard the announcer wrong.

they were saying something was impressive about graham

by khaostheory117 on Oct 15, 2011 1:33 PM MDT up reply actions  

James is leading in yards per game

but he played one less game than Graham entering this weekend. Graham had more total yards. So it was a misleading stat, but possibly accurate.

by Ute in DC on Oct 15, 2011 1:34 PM MDT up reply actions  

That's what the announcers said during the game.

I haven’t heard that confirmed, though…I don’t always trust ESPN’s fact-checking, especially if it gets in the way of hyping the current game they are broadcasting.

by Ute in DC on Oct 15, 2011 1:33 PM MDT up reply actions  

The D is great. I have never questioned them.

The D can’t win vs. any team worth their salt when the offense can’t score in the red-zone, and between the O & ST, you spot your opponent 14+ points.

by Middy_U on Oct 15, 2011 1:33 PM MDT up reply actions  

Yeah,

I think the “grind” is just code for more losses. Every Ute fan knew there would be more losses this year. Playing tougher teams is bound to make that happen.

by Ute in DC on Oct 15, 2011 1:32 PM MDT up reply actions  

Not a code for more losses.

Means once you get into conference play, you can’t circle wins and losses (well, except for UW ’08).

Ducks GOOOOD. Fuskies BAAAAAD.

by BigGreenWreckingMachine on Oct 15, 2011 1:34 PM MDT up reply actions

and then in the next breath they dismiss the quality of certain wins against Pac-12 teams.

Cal has been a huge ? for a few years now.

When you least expect it, they uncork an ass-whuppin’ on someone. Or they play well for 2 weeks then don’t show up the next week. I’m not saying you can’t beat ‘em, just that you can’t trust them to “be who you thought they were” from week to week.

Thoughts on the game...

1- I don’t care how ugly the game was… GREAT win…
2- The announcers kept talking about how off Pitt’s offense was… I say, Utah’s defense is just that good… The offense killed them against UW and ASU…
3- DAMN YOU JOHN CULLEN… YOU BLOW!!! I had to take my daughter to swimming lessons this morning and DVR’d after the first quarter. When I got home and rushed through the game, my DVR stopped recording right after the redzone cluster f**k and Cullen’s awesome personal foul… Amidst the scramble to see if the game was still going, in the back of my mind I was thinking… Critical moment… Had a chance to score… Yep, Cullen on cue…
4- Our defense is just that good.
5- If Hays plays smart football, our defense will get us to a bowl game.
6- The offense needed an IV and the got it… Great job JWIV…
