#15 is incredibly impressive when their offense has been SOOO bad too

It's easier for a defense to limit yards when the offense sustains drives, but the opposite has been true for Utah. Nobody has been able to move the ball consistently against them...granted they haven't played great offenses, so we'll see what happens.

Utah is #15 in total defense, in CFB. BYU is 38. I don’t care what

Are you making a Utah will win burrito promise?

Upgrade it to a cheesy burrito crunch wrap.

A “burrito promise” needs to become part of CB vernacular

Many byu fans overly confident. Young in their fandom maybe? Or smoking that hopium. We should win. We’ve been better

Young fans may lack historical perspective and understanding. Young fandom is not the flex you think it is.

The question is how invested Utah is the rest of the season.

Hopefully not very. Hopefully the death spiral continues.

Did they grow a new QB during the bye week?

Lots of sun and water.

Maybe... Or at least coached up one to a more competent level.

The old quarterback will be retooled.

Kill our momentum. Just like the last BYE right?

This game is not Arizona at home.

Arizona has a much better offense

Granted. Now that would be an interesting match-up: Utah vs Arizona

what is the offense rating of the teams Utah has played compared to BYU?

qwerew

Blah, blah. They're also the worst offensive team in the Big12. They're a joke.

IronPotato

11/3/24 5:20pm

I'm pretty confident. More confident than I've been in decades for this game. Here's why: Utah's offense is AWFUL.

Spiff

They’ll likely start a new QB we haven’t seen much though.

I agree, but if UU can't find a creative way to put points up, it could get ugly in the 2nd half for them.
