2014 College Football

[green]

While Dres has been brutal and did single handedly cost Utah a win in regulation tonight, it can't be ignored that Utah lacks a forward passing game across the board. Take Dres out of the equation. I don't think it's too much to ask for this offense to be able to hit on at least 50% of some quick hit, 5 and 10 yard patterns and keep a defense somewhat honest.

They better get their **** together because Booker ain't going for 200+ against USC. Don't get me wrong, this win was gritty as hell and I couldn't be more proud but it's gonna take a better passing game for Utah to do anything special. The crazy thing is, Booker, the defense, and special teams are so good, that if this team could just find a way to produce 175-200 yards passing per game, they'd have a chance to win any game left on the schedule.

Quick hitters, huh? Like Scott's two drops last week? Clay's drop over the middle last week? Tonga's drop over the middle tonight? Dres's drop tonight that was tipped and then intercepted? For whatever reason, we can't catch. The plays are there. The play calls are there. Everyone else executes. All of those balls are hitting the receivers in the hands/chest. They aren't catching the ball.

If the receivers catch the ball, especially Dres, we are the #6 team in the country right now.

It's pretty simple. We just need someone to catch the ball.

Heck, I'd even say the problem isn't Wilson or Thompson. If we could catch the ball, we would win with either one back there.

Just catch the ball.

On the plus side, it's kind of awesome to watch Devontae just take a dump on an entire defense.

Agreed. These drops have been infuriating. I get that every team has drops now and then. It just seems like we have a lot more than most. It's brutal to watch would be first downs turn into punts because these receivers have butter fingers. Catch the ****ing ball please.

I am guessing they will improve their ranking. We'll see.

P5 team with a road win over another P5 team? Up. This ain't kiddy football. This is big boy football. A win is a win. A road win is an impressive win.

Go Utes!!

We will move up a few spots in the rankings. Maybe as high as #15.

I don't see Utah being punished by voters for going on the road and beating an OSU team that was 4-1 and on the verge of being ranked themselves. Obviously, we have to see who wins/loses ahead of Utah this weekend to see just how far they deserve to move up.

Hey guy, the jazz win too... by over 30pts against the damn Lakers and we are undefeated.

How about posting in the jazz forum somewhere and giving them some love.

I know.

Just reminding ugly that he is was a jazz fan. I'm thinking he may have forgot.

Ute defense is special. Ute offense is....?

Devontae Booker is incredible. The line play was good. The QB's? IMO, the worst in the PAC-12.

Fully believe that^ and think it means Utah has a very special team to be 5-1 (2-1 in conference) despite that. If it were someone better... trophies.
