Except for Spencer Johnson, I think we upgraded w/r/t each comparison.

Short_Changed

11:14am

Loved SJ, but I don't think there's room for him in our current rotation. I DO think both Baker & Mag will be in.

SinkingQuffa

11:17am

I don’t see it yet. Spencer was so well rounded and tough. Need to see a lot

Short_Changed

11:19am

Mag was a top defender in the Big10 two years ago.

SinkingQuffa

11:25am

I was thinking about this the other day and couldn't find a replacement for SJ

BYU Fan

11:17am

All of the pieces are upgrades, so we need to see how they merge as the whole.

Archaea

Spencer ws very good last year. We haven't seen enough of baker mag to know.

bald man

11:35am

Utah has the 119th-rated offensive FEI and 89th-rated offense S&P+

nephicoug

11:05am

It's an interesting game because their D is really good and their O is so bad

rcbyufan

11:06am

But our defense is rated higher than theirs on FEI

nephicoug

11:07am

Yes. We have a really good D as well.

rcbyufan

11:13am

I think the defenses cancel each other out so it comes down to who has the best

nephicoug

11:14am

And who can avoid turning the ball over.

NorCal_Coug

11:15am

Turnovers and ST are huge. Utah needs to win here.

NYCougz

11:29am

All things being equal Utah should only score once or twice

It's football. The ball is not round. I expect a BYU victory but the game

It’s the Irish defense, not offense, that could surprise BYU this week and win

Call me optimistic but I'm not worried at all about the impact of the Irish defense on our game this Saturday

Defense -> offense but when you have no offense you can't do anything. Tank time

brb21

11:20am

BYU will need to be set on defense. Utah will do pre motion stuff to catch us

Magneto

Will they be able to do much motion with a green QB? They can't be too complex

Yep & if you sub a little late, then huddle. It's all in the offense's control.

Ole Miss is 1st if that says anything about the metric. Miami is 15th!

Bernard is averaging 16 carries per game. That's about two per drive.

Between him and Glover, they will be enough if show up like we did against OSU

He's a guy who can turn a 4 yd hole into a 14 yard run, but he's not a guy who

NOCAL_YFAN

10:56am

He has been a work horse back, it’s just that every Utah drive goes

ZacSeljaas'Stache

10:57am

A bit more nuance on that (TL, DR: He's averaging 21 touches per FBS game)

krindorr

10:59am

This is true. They don't have that guy this year.

Cougs2012

11:02am

He should get 25-30 against BYU. Utah will be dumb to pass the ball much.

DiamondDog

Where would Utah be ranked if they were 8-0 this season?

Guessing 3 or 4

Probably 4 with Miami 5
