I think it’s their new league (sign stealing might be in play too), but coming

in I really thought this would be a major shock to Utah. The conference parity is just much better. PAC 12 bottom was always trash. You had 4 guaranteed wins a year in the PAC 12 if you were one of the top half - and Utah thrived on that.

Big 12 - any team can beat any team.

The game is also moving past Whitt. Ball control isn’t working.

How can you explain this much of a drop off? You can’t convince me it’s not

Why do you think Whitt wants to retire. His “advantage” is gone. 🤪

kalifi

Yep. I got laughed to scorn by Ute Twitter 3 months ago for teasing this idea..

Taking away that and enforcing disconcerting the snap penalties at the same time

They lost 5 games last year. They weren’t that good. Not sure why people

This. The pac12 was over rated, and utah wasn't world beaters in the pac12

Yep. And they lost 14 - 7 in their bowl game against Northwestern. They

It’s not sign stealing. Utah’s defense has been good. Unless Utah was stealing

Put all their eggs in one basket that hadn't played in 2 yrs

Not only that, I think Whitt’s message, culture, is getting old. I also think

The culture at Utah is exactly the problem. The egos they have is all great

Except they have a top 10 defense again.

Everyone is ignoring how good their defense is. No drop off there

Their run d is not as good as it has been

BYU '80

Agreed. Still formidable. If we don’t turn it over we will win.

Houston just scored their second-most points against that defense (and won).

Abe Froman

In fairness, a lot of Houston points were the result of an inept Utah offense giving a short field

It’s the ugly uniforms. They’ve hit a low point this year

5:05am

It’s a long con to lull BYU into thinking they are bad but actually Cam isn’t hurt and also Covey will somehow play too

byuTX

Because it’s really not that much of a drop-off. Utah has been frauds for years

It’s playing out for them to finish with 7-8 losses. Tough next 3-4 games

Boring

8:21am

Well that would be delightful

andrewg3

Well if we can’t convince you otherwise, why ask?

8-0 is awesome but I'll be devastated if we don't make it to 9-0. Everything is

Some people want to make it just another game. It's not.

FSU was close to being in the playoff last year and now they're 1-7. This is

russkiejedi

Good point. Seems the NIL and Transfer Portal era has brought massive parity to CFB

8:45am

Yeah, if you want to talk about transfer portal, UW was in the playoffs last

russkiejedi

It isn't sign stealing at all. Gees, what a dumb take.

7:58am

Pac12 was mostly flash, speed and finesse. Utah was the only tough, physical team on both sides of the ball every year.

Undoubtedly sign stealing. Kwit told us:

miggida

8:39am

Was it sign stealing when we went from 9-4 (2016) to 4-9 (2017)

krindorr

I also think the ASU game completely broke that team and their confidence in the coach

Not sure about that. Utah is notably worse than last years

krindorr

They also lost to TCU. A team they wouldn’t have dealt with before. It’s both,

I'll agree with that. Teams have them circled and enjoying their downfall

krindorr

All that said, the game against them still makes me nervous. We better not get

They were a little bit of a paper tiger to begin with and then Whittingham
