I think the big thing here isn't that we were out muscled or out athleticized (weird word, probably made up).

TheLoneCougar Adrielle?!

We shot ourselves in the foot with undisciplined play and hero ball. Those are easy to fix which we did with UCF.

Utah football analyst last night predicted Utah would run the football down

YLife

Nov 7, 9:06am

No.

Carnac

Nov 7, 9:06am

In the football games I've watched, Utah's line is up and down

YLife

I'm going with "focused" for this game.

Plantagenet

Yeah I hope we work on our screen game because there has been some weakness

YOHONOMOTO

No one can get the ball to any of their WRs and BYUs secondary is one of the top

Das_Countach

Nov 7, 9:08am

Other teams - K State and Ok State - have succeeded in pushing our DL around

Counterpoint--UCF

Carnac

Nov 7, 9:10am

To add to that: when it got sloppy, BYU had their backups in on defense.

Ungoy

That's true - but UCF doesn't have quite the hogs that Utah does on the OL.

oxcoug

Nov 7, 9:12am

UCF does have the hogs. UCF has an awesome rushing attack behind some great

Rise Against

Nov 7, 9:14am

I just don't think they have the QB to exploit it

Carnac

Nov 7, 9:16am

Ummm UCF has the #2 rushing attack in the country… Utah’s is 74th

CycloneCoug

I'm referring to their OL, but yes.

oxcoug

Nov 7, 9:33am

Hence my comment, “hogs or no hogs” the production isn’t there.

Ok State and Ollie Gordon had been shut down for three straight weeks prior to

Fair 'nuff.

I'm sure Kyle will do the same since he has had a bye week to prepare

They very well might try it. Thankfully we learned a valuable lesson and came

Rise Against

Absolutely - several weeks for game prep with a new OC and likely a new QB

BYU Fan

Nov 7, 9:44am

UCF run game is more varied and Utah relies on pounding straight at you

Bobmarleyjr

Nov 7, 10:50am

Why wouldn't Kyle do the same? I'm worried about this game...

bleedsblue

KState couldn’t throw on us even when they ran it though

K State admitted they needed to better passing

Bobmarleyjr

They didn’t want to pass because our corners are very good and they had a poor

Everyone wants to point to the OK state game

Hutch65

Nov 7, 11:09am

Both had mobile running QBs. Utah doesn’t.

BYU '80

Nov 7, 11:43am

But Ok State had that working with Bowman too. We definitely need to be ready

SoBlueitHurts

Nov 7, 12:00pm

For a couple runs. Nothing major

BYU '80

Nov 7, 5:50pm

Got first downs, extended drives. HUGE

SoBlueitHurts

Nov 8, 10:04am

I expect there to be a run package with Rose. Their wildcat package

Bobmarleyjr

Nov 7, 12:59pm

He’s not very mobile. Less so than Wilson. If Wilson is hurt they run the risk

BYU '80

Nov 7, 5:50pm

Not sure about the best OL part. Were true they wouldn't have lost four straight

SoBlueitHurts

Nov 7, 11:59am

Some teams have run on us (OK St). Others (UCF) not so much.

BYU is the best defense Utah has faced this year.

Ungoy

*best defense or offense Utah has faced this year

CycloneCoug

Utah will focus because this game is the only thing they have to play for now.

Plantagenet

Nov 7, 10:25am

Why didn’t they focus when they considered themselves in the title hunt? Even

The last time BYU played Utah, Utah was a much better team than this season.

They had a 6 week season

Bobmarleyjr

If Utah could do that so easily, they wouldn't be a bottom 3 offense

bluesloth

Nov 7, 9:31am

That's very obviously going to be their game plan, but Bernard isn't

MaximusMeridius

Nov 7, 9:34am

I think that will be their strategy

BYU Fan

Is it possible Utah wins? Yes? Maybe change your name to UtahFan?

NYC and Japan

Take heart! I know that it's largely different personnel, but in BYU's last game

Buster Scruggs

Why haven’t they done that yet?

Tuskaloosa Cougar

We need to rattle Rose, pressure hard

Burton162

Nov 7, 10:38am

Nope. The utes are overrated. I saw it during their first couple games.

BlueFever

Nov 7, 11:25am

So they are putting their passing game hopes on one guy? One guy is not enough.
