But that's EXACTLY what this entire board is saying about Utah's secondary.

So we have to break down recruiting (Utah's recruited better at DB than BYU has at WR, at least according to scout and rivals) or coaching (I'll take Utah's track record with DBs over your current WR coach, who was selling insurance two years ago).

Um Utah hasn't lost to BYU in almost a decade. Fin.

That fact alone tips the scales in BYU's favor. Streaks are broken every year.

How long until KWhitt forces a return to 3 yards and a cloud of dust?

Not until after the BYU game.

Won't this be the inexperienced d lines' third game, not second?

I'll be happy to.

displacedute

Keep in mind, that's with my red goggles firmly in place.

displacedute

7/31/17 4:55pm

do you believe BYU's WR and TE situation is worse than 2015, 2016?

Bob Vance

7/31/17 4:59pm

Yes, absolutely.

displacedute

7/31/17 5:08pm

This post shows that you haven't kept up on the byu wr/Te situation

Those are the stats.

Every year we hear about the all-world WRs, QB, and QB of Utah from Ute fans

Bob Vance

Tim Patrick is playing in the NFL.

displacedute

7/31/17 6:15pm

sorry, I meant CB, not RB. I agree you guys have put some guys in the NFL

Bob Vance

7/31/17 6:23pm

Sure, but for this game he's only got to last 6 more weeks.

displacedute

he was a UFA and has already bounced to another team. His prospects for sticking

displacedute

Uh, both of those guys are 3* guys that switched from lower tier offers to Utes

Bob Vance

7/31/17 5:57pm

Both of those guys are 4* guys as I pointed out.

I grant you a red goggled view, but even your own friends at block u do not see

It's okay that you don't follow BYU recruiting much. I don't follow the Utes

Bob Vance

7/31/17 5:40pm

Pearson and juergens are highly repkacable. Kurtz was the biggest recruiting

Backcountry

If Pearson, Juergens and Kurtz are so easy to replace...

It's not that hard to accept when you have a timing based offense, a running

Sloppy game last year on both sides...... BUT +3 in the TO margin

bja13

7/31/17 9:42pm

Yes, you'd think that would be a game clincher but it proves the negative...

icecougar

8/1/17 7:50pm

man, why can't there be any sane Utes on here who can engage in REAL convo.

Lip Gallagher

7/31/17 5:05pm

Didn't he specifically ask for red goggles on?

displacedute

7/31/17 5:08pm

Dang. I was hoping you'd come back and say "I wasn't joking."

Lip Gallagher

7/31/17 5:13pm

Fred Warner and Francis Bernard aren't great in coverage? Eh?

shakinbaker

7/31/17 5:59pm

Also, the "Mangum wasn't good against good defenses" critique is funny. He was

At the end of the season, against SJSU, Wagner, Fresno, and USU?

The Touchdown Club of Columbus did.

If you're going to count that against USC who had the

Lip Gallagher

Could also be coaching/scheme as well. Will be interesting to see how Tanner

bja13

7/31/17 7:18pm

Actually he spent much of 2015 creating plays with his legs and that's

Lip Gallagher

7/31/17 7:34pm

I get what you're saying but Tanner is NOT a rushing threat.

bja13

7/31/17 7:45pm

Never said he was. You said creating plays. You can use your legs to

Lip Gallagher

7/31/17 7:54pm

also, you totally whiffed on your assessment of Pau'u, Warner and Bernard...

icecougar

7/31/17 8:59pm

Tanner wasn't good against P5 defenses except 1, the one that he threw for about

Maybe ask Vegas: it's a toss-up but for the standard 3 point home advantage

Ill bite, but I will try to be as neutral as possible based on what I know about

Rise as Utes

7/31/17 5:51pm

Good analysis. Disagree about our OL

I like Mangum, I just havent seen enough of him to say that he will be the next

Rise as Utes

7/31/17 6:22pm

Pretty good take here. Only places I might disagree are OL, TE, and RB

Chambana Coug

7/31/17 6:33pm

I can see the argument for your Oline. RB I think is pretty even, but

Rise as Utes

7/31/17 6:50pm

I think experience will be an advantage early on.

Chambana Coug

8/1/17 9:37am

I can agree with this.

Rise as Utes

8/1/17 9:44am

Definitely red goggled, though I see you tried to be fair.

Lip Gallagher

7/31/17 6:45pm

Well admittedly I just dont know as much about your roster and vice versa. So

Rise as Utes

7/31/17 6:56pm

I agree a lot of stuff is "wait and see." Just some stuff that's misleading.

Lip Gallagher

Oh, there's this too.

displacedute

This just in, BYU cancels rivalry game over recruiting rankings

Yet Utah's coaches make sure to secure those as irrelevant, as the

+3 in the TO department and still lost.

They also don't count our huge list of transfers
