Buster Scruggs Playmaker

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

against the utes (a WIN), BYU was the more physical team and essentially dominated the trenches. KWhitt surprisingly admitted as much. And this year's team may be better than that BYU team, particularly on defense.

BYU wins this game going away, if they take care of the ball, play assignment sound, and match the utes physicality. Easier said than done, but entirely possible with this BYU team.

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

YLife

9:06am

No.

Carnac

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

YLife

9:11am

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

9:08am

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

Counterpoint--UCF

Carnac

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

9:12am

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

9:14am

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

Carnac

9:16am

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

CycloneCoug

9:18am

I'm referring to their OL, but yes.

oxcoug

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

oxcoug

Predictive - yes. Determinative - no.

Utahs o line has been up and down they are talented for sure. They

Oklahoma State used exotic shifts and different looks that they have never

Fair 'nuff.

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

kansascougar

9:24am

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

9:42am

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

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

Bobmarleyjr

10:50am

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

puntersarepeople

9:14am

K State admitted they needed to better passing

Bobmarleyjr

11:13am

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

Everyone wants to point to the OK state game

Hutch65

11:09am

Both had mobile running QBs. Utah doesn’t.

BYU '80

11:43am

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

SoBlueitHurts

12:00pm

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

Bobmarleyjr

12:59pm

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

SoBlueitHurts

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

9:10am

*best defense or offense Utah has faced this year

CycloneCoug

9:19am

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

Plantagenet

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.

The issue for them in 2021 was partially from the PAC not

They had a 6 week season

Bobmarleyjr

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

bluesloth

9:31am

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

MaximusMeridius

9:34am

I think that will be their strategy

BYU Fan

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

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

Why haven’t they done that yet?

We need to rattle Rose, pressure hard

Burton162

10:38am

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

BlueFever

11:25am

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