2014 College Football

Just want to say that you ute fans are doing a good job with the byu indy vs conference discussion. I cant disagree with any of it. Even green had a solid post, which is unheard of. (hey hey is always logical/fair for the most part and jazzman12 has decent takes on byu often)


I hate being independent but like jazzman said, it was the best choice available. If byu really turned down the big 12 simply due to byutv and not because of sunday play then they are retarded. At this point i would definately rather be in the mwc than independent.
 
I'm starting to realize that for any pac 12 team to make the playoff one of either USC or Arizona ST is going to have to knock off Notre Dame. Even if Notre Dame loses this weekend to FL St it won't matter. Having that be your one loss and then going 3-0 against the Pac would most likely give them a spot even if The Pac finishes with a 1 loss team. If Notre Dame loses to FL St and a team that they shouldn't, taking down 3 of the better Pac 12 is going to knock all pac 12 teams down a peg. The best case scenario(for the Pac 12) would be for Notre Dame to beat Fl st this week and then have one of our teams hand them an L.

How different is Utah reality right now if Dres can catch? We beat WSU. We beat OSU in regulation, and probably soundly (we would have been up 17-0 if he could catch the ball). We would be the #6 team in the country right now if Dres could catch the ball.

You want the slightest hint of a passing game? If Dres catches the ball, and we are 6-0, ranked in the top 10, you would have the slightest hint of a passing game.

Our problems are all on the receivers. If they could catch the ball (Scott with two drops early last week, Clay had a drop last week, Dres with multiple drops, etc) we would be a top 10 team.

How much better would Booker look if receivers could catch.

Catch the ball. Pretty simple. Catch the ball. Just catch it.

I agree with all of this. But I'll give Dres 1 thing the guy knows how to get open. If he could catch the ball he'd be one of the best in the country, simply because no matter who they guard him with he always seems to be open. I hope they figure it out because they are going to need the passing game.

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.

I'm with green on this one. I think Utah's receivers are a far bigger problem than the QB's.
 
Anybody else get tickets for the Back to Reality Tour in SLC next Saturday night? I'll see you there.

BYU going independent wasn't the wrong move, but whiffing at the chance to join the Big 12 certainly was and that's really beyond debate.
 
Didn't think KSU could pull it off, but they did

Baylor/WVU a tight one

I think Okie State is a bit overrated this season, but they've been terrific in the past and have won all the games they should have so far this season. Who knows what to expect, but I could see TCU making it tough for OSU's young quarterback.

After seeing the meltdown on cougarboard and Duck's post, what happens to Provo if Utah wins? lol.

I for one won't care. I don't live in provo though.

I imagine provo will survive
