Even if they stay healthy, still just can't see a bowl game in their future

Reasons why ...

I see them winning both Idaho St and Fresno St. They're likely to beat both Wash St and Arizona at home, but I can't see them beating either Oregon or USC at home. Given that, they have to win 2 Pac12 road games or at Michigan to get to 6 wins without slipping up at all with the games I've already thought they'll win. You might point to Colorado as winnable, and I'd agree except I think Colorado's new HC has them trending up and will probably beat the utes at home.

Just can't find 6 wins with that brutal schedule.

I'm really not trolling, but I believe the Utes will win 6 games this year.

Just can't find more than 4 wins for them with their schedule and

I don't see it. 5 is their ceiling, and 4 is easily possible.

If their qb stays healthy throughout the season I agree.

According to Jordan gross and Echols Whitt needs 7 not 6

travelcoug

5/7/14 5:45pm

If Wilson stays healthy, I think they squeak out 6 too.

5/7/14 6:04pm

They need 7 so even your optimistic red goggles don't get it done

travelcoug

5/7/14 6:07pm

They need seven for what? Red goggles? You don't think Utah can beat

5/7/14 6:13pm

Wazu - no, Az- no, Michigan-no, Oregon state-no, asu-no, USC-no. All of these

travelcoug

This year will be interesting.

5/7/14 6:50pm

Utah could beat OSU this year

Michigan is on the road, and they've been awful on the road as of late

cougarick

5/7/14 6:45pm

Wazu is not a toss up. That is a changed team. They drilled yewtah last year

travelcoug

5/7/14 6:52pm

Problem is their defense. Even Shulz lit it up.

cougarick

5/7/14 6:57pm

12-19 for 172 yards no TD's,4 rushes for -7 isn't exactly lighting it up.

travelcoug

5/7/14 7:25pm

You sure you're looking at the right game? Shulz had 347 yards passing.

cougarick

5/7/14 7:32pm

If the game was in Pullman I would chose Wazzu. Utah probably gets them in SLC.

5/7/14 7:27pm

Washington state beat Arizona huge in Tucson last year. Yewtah doesn't yet

Would love to see it. Go Cougars.

5/7/14 7:35pm

Has Wilson been given the green light for full contact?

SierraCoug

5/7/14 6:30pm

No, but I assume he will be good to go.

5/7/14 6:38pm

I have learned from BJ and Wynn that the coaches are overly optimistic...

sheriffcreg

5/7/14 7:01pm

That's a huge if. I don't see him playing more than 6 games throughout the year

JackStack

5/7/14 6:36pm

He had a freak hand injury and a cuncussion and then the bizarre head issue.

5/7/14 6:43pm

The crystal ball challenge is on. The winner gets 20 schrute bucks

JackStack

Unlike most here

Wow that's a tough schedule. Gonna be a challenge for them for sure.

Let's say they win the toss-up games, they would still need to have two major

you're even harder on them than i am...but we see it about the same...

There are a lot of innacurate statements in this post.

5/7/14 8:04pm

i'd take that bet...i say utah loses at least one of fresno, WSU or arizona

Kendal Thompson didn't participate in spring ball. He doesn't grad from Oklahoma

I agree with you for the most part but

ManicBlue

Thompson won't see the field unless Wilson goes down.

Even if they stay healthy, still just can't see a bowl game in their future

ManicBlue

5/8/14 12:38pm

Tough to argue with that. 3-9 or 6-6 wouldn't shock me

That isn't what a lot of people connected to Utah are saying: Gunther Robert

From how it sounds, the players and coaches are already split on the decision.

CougDogg-e-Dogg

5/8/14 2:16pm

We will see.

5/8/14 6:41pm

I think I trust guys in the back pocket of the Utah program. Wilson is big and

CougDogg-e-Dogg

5/8/14 6:57pm

for every upset win they get, they'll be 2 games they should have won that

ds7

5/7/14 7:54pm

IMO, the Arizona game will be the swing game that decides if they win 5 or 6

pistol12

5/7/14 9:59pm

It will be most years.

5/8/14 7:43am

Which games do you see them winning ?

ManicBlue

5/8/14 2:30pm

My humble opinion is that they will beat

you talk about all these guys returning from a team that only won 2 PAC games

You think Utah could win 8 games this year???

The key word is "could" and that includes a bowl game. This board talks all

You should never bet on your team. Too emotional. I would bet that the Utes go
