Look at what happened to utah the 2 games before Rising took over, the first half vs. the second half of the SDSU game...and how Utah fell apart after Rising was hurt in the RBs and 2023.

His WAR is off the charts, IMO.

I think Utah's 4-0 record wins against Top 5/10 Oregon and top 5/10 USC in 2021/22 are exceptional.

No other smaller tier program has dominated their blue blood superior in CCGs like that.

For reference, I'd be curious how many times BYU has beaten a top 5 team in history...or beat the same top 10 team twice in 1 season. Or if they've ever had a QB with 4 top 10 wins.

Like Alex Smith or Brian Johnson, I think Utah can play with anyone in the few times they have a strong QB.
