Utah Football 2014

[rockgremlin]

Arizona beating Oregon was no fluke. They're a damn good team, and the utes definitely overlooked and underestimated how talented they are.

Embarrassing loss. Unfortunately representatives from the Alamo and holiday bowls were on hand to witness the carnage. I wonder if they filed out in the third quarter along with the other two-thirds of the stadium?

One game left to play in the regular season.... sitting at 7-4, hoping to make it to 8-4 and not go 7-5.... I believe this is going to become a typical year in Utah football now that we are part of the PAC-12 and finally look like a real PAC-12 team.

Perhaps a losing season every 10 years, and a realistic shot at the Rose Bowl every 20 years.... anyone have a different opinion?

Utah lands three-star RB commit and "brother" of former Ute

Utah added another player to its 2015 recruiting class with the verbal commitment of three-star California running back Marcel Brown.

This season Brown has rushed for over 1900 yards and 28 touchdowns and averaged over 10 yards per carry for Rio Linda High in Rio Linda, California.

Utah is #25 in the only poll that counts.... A win this weekend will allow them to finish the regular season ranked and go to a nice bowl.

The only team with 4 losses. 3 of them to top 15 teams...No. 2 - Oregon, No. 11 - Arizona and No. 13 - Arizona State.

It's called STRENGTH OF SCHEDULE. Something that no other team in Utah can claim.

Utah is favored by 9 at Colorado. Predictions?

Adam Shultz?

[accadacca]

Ok I guess it's still Wilson.

Here we go again. CU's running back has 41 yards and 3 TD's and it's not even half...

[accadacca]

And Utah keeps wasting plays on the run.

[accadacca]

Another nail biter, but they get it done.

Bowl Predictions? Here is what I've seen from a few random websites...

The Sun Bowl vs Duke, Louisville, Notre Dame or N.C. State. The Holiday Bowl vs Notre Dame.

[Scott Card]

The Utes should be proud of their season. After hearing the predictions for this year and now looking at their record, they over achieved. The Ute defense was great and frankly made many of the games ugly enough to win at the end. Well done Utes and Whit can take a deep breath because his job would appear to be secure for at least a while longer.

Bowl Predictions?

The Las Vegas Bowl is working really hard to get Utah.

The Running Utes are playing in a basketball game the same weekend in Vegas as the bowl game. The same group is putting on both the football and basketball game. They figure if they can get both Utah teams the attendance will go up for both events and that is great for their pocket book.

The bowls have some leeway in who they take within certain guidelines.

Utah is up two positions, right above LSU with the same record. Ah being in a P5 is great!

Utah's highly rated QB prospect from Lone Peak, Chase Hansen, has returned from his LDS mission. There were some rumors the last couple of days of the possible transfer of Hansen to BYU. Well, Coach Whitt met Hansen at the airport upon his arrival, and then proceeded to take Hansen on a tour of the new football facility. It appears Chase Hansen is staying a Ute!

Utah's QB situation is so bad that the head coach is chasing missionaries down at the airport. LOL...the kid better be worth it.
