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 in fandom makes sense. I know it’s been said ad nauseam, but you have to

Why is it so important to some for fans to think Utah might beat us? What do

For the same reason you responded to this post. It’s just a space to talk about

Some fans are predicting an easy victory. Others a tight game. Why do you care? Both opinions that could be right or

Being old is not the flex you think it is.

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

So because I don’t pee myself over Utah I am a young fan and flexing?

Utah WAS reeling. The BYE is exactly what they needed to reset. Bad timing for

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

Hopefully not very. Hopefully the death spiral continues.

BYUtka

We need establish ourselves early.

There's a forcefull and influential element at Utah that's not driven by saving

Did they grow a new QB during the bye week?

Lots of sun and water.

NYCougz

11/3/24 4:20pm

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

BYUtka

11/3/24 4:41pm

The old quarterback will be retooled.

Plantagenet

Kill our momentum. Just like the last BYE right?

This game is not Arizona at home.

Plantagenet

11/3/24 7:06pm

Arizona has a much better offense

SUAVO

11/3/24 10:13pm

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

They're STILL reeling. A bye isn't going to fix their obvious issues. The

Not only #15th... they are getting a couple of key guys back from injury this week.

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

What Kyle wants is to grind this out. He is happy to be 0-0 in the fourth

Sometimes hard games are for the quarters until the dam breaks which means 17-10 going into the 4th when BYU

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

qwerew

11/3/24 5:19pm

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

11/3/24 5:24pm

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

Haysom Till

11/3/24 5:38pm

Who also stinks.

How do you know that?

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.
