But even including TCU, Arizona, ASU, and especially Houston aren't exactly world-beaters and a whole new level of competition.

Given that they're losing to Houston and the like, it seem not primarily a matter of tougher competition....Utah is really just that bad

How can you explain this much of a drop off? You can’t convince me it’s not

Why do you think Whitt wants to retire. His “advantage” is gone. 🤪

kalifi

Yep. I got laughed to scorn by Ute Twitter 3 months ago for teasing this idea..

Taking away that and enforcing disconcerting the snap penalties at the same time

They lost 5 games last year. They weren’t that good. Not sure why people

This. The pac12 was over rated, and utah wasn't world beaters in the pac12

Yep. And they lost 14 - 7 in their bowl game against Northwestern. They

It’s not sign stealing. Utah’s defense has been good. Unless Utah was stealing

Not only that, I think Whitt’s message, culture, is getting old. I also think

The culture at Utah is exactly the problem. The egos they have is all great

Except they have a top 10 defense again.

Everyone is ignoring how good their defense is. No drop off there

Their run d is not as good as it has been

BYU '80

Agreed. Still formidable. If we don’t turn it over we will win.

kansascougar

Houston just scored their second-most points against that defense (and won).

Abe Froman

In fairness, a lot of Houston points were the result of an inept Utah offense giving a short field

It’s the ugly uniforms. They’ve hit a low point this year

5:05am

It’s a long con to lull BYU into thinking they are bad but actually Cam isn’t hurt and also Covey will somehow play too

byuTX

Because it’s really not that much of a drop-off. Utah has been frauds for years

It’s playing out for them to finish with 7-8 losses. Tough next 3-4 games

Boring

8:21am

Well that would be delightful

andrewg3

Well if we can’t convince you otherwise, why ask?

8-0 is awesome but I'll be devastated if we don't make it to 9-0. Everything is

Some people want to make it just another game. It's not.

FSU was close to being in the playoff last year and now they're 1-7. This is

russkiejedi

Good point. Seems the NIL and Transfer Portal era has brought massive parity to CFB

8:45am

Yeah, if you want to talk about transfer portal, UW was in the playoffs last

russkiejedi

It isn't sign stealing at all. Gees, what a dumb take.

7:58am

Pac12 was mostly flash, speed and finesse. Utah was the only tough, physical team on both sides of the ball every year.

byuTX

Undoubtedly sign stealing. Kwit told us:

miggida

8:39am

Was it sign stealing when we went from 9-4 (2016) to 4-9 (2017)

krindorr

I also think the ASU game completely broke that team and their confidence in the coach

krindorr

I think it’s their new league (sign stealing might be in play too), but coming

Not sure about that. Utah is notably worse than last years

They also lost to TCU. A team they wouldn’t have dealt with before. It’s both,

All that said, the game against them still makes me nervous. We better not get

They were a little bit of a paper tiger to begin with and then Whittingham
