The Utes, particularly when healthy, are an excellent defense. With healthy Rising, and that is a thing that still happens, they have the potential to have an effective and complimentary offense.

I’m not betting on Freddy Krueger staying dead, and I’m not counting the Utes out until they’re mathematically eliminated.

Their odds are not good, but their schedule is not particularly hard and there’s a chance. Reasonable chance or Jim Carrey Dumb and Dumber, I’m not counting any on any chickens being dead until the egg is smashed flat as a pancake in 1 million pieces.

It would be nice if we could Help slam the door on them by beating them in their own stadium. Soundly, per my preference.
