Tonight should give us a pretty good idea of how the Utah/BYU game is going to go.

I think you mean tomorrow nights game? And not really. A few years ago, Utah struggled to a 27-10 win in the opener over Montana State with BYU looming in 2 weeks. Utah won that game 54-10. Last year, USU damn nearly lost to SUU in the opener and everybody thought Utah would roll them in week 2. That game was tied 14-14 and halftime and Utah never put USU completely away.
 
It was the first game, so I won't read too much into it.
I will take away the fact that Troy wants to throw it down the field, and that those big receivers from 6-2 to 6-5 will help with that.
Patrick will be good for Troy to cut him slack if his throws aren't spot on at times.

The defense looked good, other than the fact that there were more 9+ yard plays than I expected.
Marcus Williams is a beast, and legit.
 
The game was a glorified scrimmage with the Utes playing vanilla on both sides of the ball. No hand was tipped, no questions were answered, and no concerns were raised for me. Williams was okay. Huntley has a better arm and when he spends some time in the weight room will be a beast.

My concern was the Oline. Even when playing vanilla and trying not to tip your hand, no reason you cannot control the line of scrimmage vs an FBS opponent. SUU was in our backfield for an alarming amount of the night.

That being said, I think Troy Williams was more than okay and the WR's had the look of what can be a better than average unit. If they can get the Oline to play better this week, things will go as planned.
 
I didn't watch the BYU game. How did they manage to just squeak out a victory against a team with a defensive line stocked with midgets?
 
Those midgets have had our number though, can't really say much except congrats to Kalani & BYU. After the game he said he was proud to call Utah a rival.
