God will have a humble people
Some self awareness creeping into the Ute fanbase. Color me shocked. May we do our job on Saturday to continue their fall in the pride cycle to complete and utter humility. It is their only hope at this point.
Straight from Utehub:
"The Sport Gods value humility and doing things the right way, and I think we’ve done ourselves in, according to my superstitious fanatical thinking.
1) The “10 is coming” hype might have jinxed us. Now, we’re facing the prospect of back-to-back losses to TDS. Remember the curse of Max Hall? We can’t let our arrogance turn this into a reverse situation.
2) Mocking the Big 12 with truck stop references has been not only insulting but also embarrassing for our fan base. Now that we’re uncertain about bowl eligibility, what can we say? Apologies for belittling your way of life and hometown while we thought we had a superior football team.
3) Having multiple strong running backs has always been key for Utah. We’ve typically performed at a B+ or A- level with a solid defense and a couple of standout running backs. While we’ve aimed for A-level performance through our quarterback, we seem to have overlooked the importance of the running game. Currently, Utah ranks 10th in passing, 11th in rushing, and 14th in scoring in the BIG 12, with just 15 passing touchdowns and 5 rushing touchdowns. UCF has 26 rushing TD’s to Utah’ 5 Rushing TD’s. Before joining the Big 12, Utah was first in rushing in the Pac 12 in 2021 (thanks to Tavion Thomas and his 21 TDs), first again in 2022 (also Tavion Thomas), and third in rushing in 2023 (with Ja’Quindon Jackson). I don’t understand why we thought we could deviate from our successful formula, but it’s clear we need to get back on track! We need to get back to the spread to open up the running lanes. The 3, and 4 TE set has clearly failed!
4) Skipping the running back step and putting all the money into a single player must significantly wear on the team who has watched one player make all the money across several seasons while not playing.
These are my thoughts. The Sports God’s will have a humble fan base. We can choose to be humble, or they will compel us."
