If you think the Utes are going to lose again, which game are you predicting the loss? We can bet right now, give you a chance to get your money back from that BYU blowout.

Completely agreed. Granted he hasn't had much to work with with all the injuries. But I expect better from someone with such a great reputation. Hays is his guy, so he should at least be decent. The guy looks like he should still be playing jc ball so far.

You guys will probably go 2-3 or possibly 3-2 in the last 5 games. 3 top 15 passing offenses coming up. Arizona is for sure a loss, Colorado probably a win. The other 3 are toss ups, but no way you escape with all 3.

Well we can bet on any of those games if you want. No way is Utah/Oregon State a tossup, Utah/UCLA a tossup, or Arizona a for sure loss. Lol, hilarious.

As long as Nick Foles is still healthy for that game, I'll happily take the Arizona side of that bet.

Whit and his staff better have some recruiting strategies in place to drastically improve the O-line and QB positions. Getting QB Travis Wilson as a solid verbal is great, but you need to make sure this subpar season doesn't scare him off and you better plan on getting a 4 or 5 star QB committ every year for the next little while if you seriously want to compete.
I still believe in Whit and this team's ability to compete in the Pac 12 long term, but man this is ugly. With that being said (since I still see BYU trolls popping in here), I'd rather have this reality check and have a true guage of where my team is at and what they need to do to improve as opposed to feeling all warm and fuzzy about blowout wins over Big Sky and WAC teams.

BYU's upcoming game against TCU should be a pretty good reality check for us Cougs. But I agree with you--until BYU proves something against real competition, BYU fans shouldn't be talking smack. Utah did kill us, after all.
Congrats on being the bridesmaid... again.

Congrats on not... again.
Do I think you'll go winless? No. Are you going to win out? No again.
Utah currently sits tied for fifth (last) in the south division. Arizona St. and USC have already beaten them and are three games ahead of them in the loss column. Good luck on climbing out of that cellar into 2nd place.

USC has tough games ahead of them (Stanford, Washington, Oregon). USC doesn't count anyway as they aren't eligible for postseason play. They will still lose some games though. Utah doesn't have anymore tough games ahead.
Utah has Oregon State, Arizona, UCLA, Washington State, and Colorado. If you think I'm a blind homer for expecting Utah to beat those crappy teams, you're crazy.
