- Utah - It's the rivalry game. But, additionally, Utah's defense is really really good. Top 20 ranked in basically every metric that matters. And that's with an offense that doesn't help them at all. They are really good defensively. We'll have some droughts during the game. Don't be afraid to punt. We just need to not make bad plays and compound the problems their defense will cause. But the way they beat us is by generating a couple of early 3 and Outs of turnovers and keeping it close.

- Kansas - Their offense is elite. They can score on anyone and they will score on us. This could be a 38-31 type game. They have led every game this season in the second half, and all but one in the 4th quarter at some point. This game scares me. We'll need to score on most possessions this game to win. The way they beat us is similar to the OSU game: just outscore us and whoever has the ball last wins.

- ASU - They're just good. Solid defense. And then on offense their RB is All-American good. He just doesn't go down. This game is tough. ASU could be 8-2 and ranked when we play this game. They could beat us in a few ways. Good, balanced team.

- Houston - They are playing really well. They have a POWER running game. Big RB, big QB. We've got to get down and dirty to win this game. Most importantly though, we need to score 30+. We score 30+, we win. The way they beat us is get just enough stops and control the ball.
