People look at their record and don't see how much of a top notch defense they have. I keep pointing to the fact that last Saturday they stuffed Houston twice inside the 5 yard line on multiple attempts and that has been their MO for most of the season. This will be no cakewalk. They have only been waiting for their offense to catch up with their defense to show their overall talent. Honestly, I don't know if CR would have been a fix-all for their offense, but he would have definitely been a step above what IW has been able to muster.
Our team last season was much better than the 5-7 record we achieved. It wouldn't surprise me if Utah wasn't able to win out the rest of their season if they figure out a few things. I don't believe whatsoever that KW has built the reputation he has and is going to go off quietly into the sunset.
We need to stay humble and hungry. Our fans are hungry, but we're showing stark signs of entering that dangerous pride cycle because we're undefeated.
My high school my team was undefeated at 6-0. Not one team had scored on us all season. Solid goose eggs. We played a neighboring team that had not beaten our high school team in decades, if ever. I just had happened to go to that school one year when I was younger and I knew the guys. I told our team that this was not the ordinary team we played from that high school each year. They upset us 24-12. No one else scored on us the rest of the season. It was that pride cycle that downed us.
