Utah Football 2013

[Deuce]

Who has predictions on the number of wins this season?

5.5 wins.... I'm surprised that Utah is a 3 point favorite Thursday.

[accadacca]

Thursday will be very interesting! I'm looking forward to getting back in my seats!

Just to get ya'll in the mood for some good ol' fashion college football.......

BYU 23 Virginia 30
Boise State 33 Washington 21

33 points for BSU? I guess they'll still have that offense clicking!

Interesting predictions. Who knows on the Utah v. USU game. That for me is a toss up. Just a few notes on BYU v. Virginia, UVA has a new OC, a new quarterback that has yet to start a game in a college game, and UVA going against a BYU defense that was ranked number 3 nationally last year with most of the defensive players returning. I don't think UVA will score 30. Boise's offense sputtered last year but I haven't really been following UW as to their defense. All I know is that it is about time! Can't wait for the games to start tomorrow!

[Scott Card]

Based on Vegas, looks like Utah is favored by 2 1/2 points, BYU is favored by 1 and Washington is favored by 3 1/2.

[accadacca]

Wow yeah I missed that BYU score. My money is on the cougars...but I would love to see that score.

35 USC
37 Oregon State
49 BYU
50 Washington

Looks like Oregon is gonna have another slam dunk season

[tomertim]

For the utah/utah st I could have easily flipped them. Byu I'm just not sold on, but then again I don't know a whole lot about virginia. As far as bsu, I would have made it 80-3 but I didn't want to show my homerism. I'm really not sure how peterson will do with this group. But no one prepares for openers better that him.

Utah should demolish Utah State with the quality of athletes they have been able to recruit the past three years.... now if that actually happens is anther story.

Seriously.... Utah State is no players first choice all things being equal.

The miracle win...

[Iceaxe]

The good news is Utah has a kicker. The bad news is the O-Line needs lots of work.

The team that showed up for the second half was a better team than took the field for the start of the game.

[tomertim]

Utah pulled out a god win tonight. However they looked slow in a lot of areas that most pac-12 teams will capalize on. I'm still blown away that an Erickson offense would run 3 dive plays in a row within the five.

That goal line stand was embarrassing for the Utes. The kicking was the ONLY bright spot on the ENTIRE team. Utah State will win 10 games. Utah will struggle to get to .500

[Iceaxe]

The best hope for the Utes is we discover the Aggies are a great tesm snd post wins over Boise, BYU, and USC :-)

The kicker received the game ball... it would be great to have another King Louis.

Solid win for the Utes against a team that won 11 games last year and returned 14 starters, including their entire offensive line and QB, who I think it without a doubt, the most dynamic player in the State of Utah.

Utah appears to have a better offense, though there are concerns with they inability to run the ball effectively against Utah State. The loss of Kenneth Scott to a broken ankle is big...and going to hurt for the rest of the season.

The defense looked bad at times, though I am not 100% sure that wasn't just Chuckie Keeton.... If I had a nickel for every time he should have been sacked and ended up making a play, I may be able to buy a soda.

In the end, a win is a win, for the Utes... After next week they will be 2-0, with the sacrificial lamb, Weber State, coming to town. Then the schedule gets wicked....

Just a few notes on BYU v. Virginia, UVA has a new OC, a new quarterback that has yet to start a game in a college game, and UVA going against a BYU defense that was ranked number 3 nationally last year with most of the defensive players returning. I don't think UVA will score 30.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but BYU's defense had only 4 returning starters and that was before they lost Jordan Johnson? BYU also has a new OC, a Soph QB with limited time under center and are going on the road for the first time this year, not to mention traveling East 2 time zones.
