Lateral move, not really surprising as Sitake and Anderson are really close. Let's face it Sitake was going to leave eventually anyways, but it does hurt more that he's leaving for another DC gig on our own conference and he's going to pull kids from Utah that would have otherwise ended up here. OSU just became a serious Pac-12 team.

The cougar fan thing was an insult.
The jab about the BIG12 was funny.

It sure puts a lot of pressure on Whittingham to produce a strong defense again next year. Our offense has not been where it needs to be under Whittingham. If he can't keep the defense up without Sitake(including recruiting) over the next few years his head would certainly be on the chopping block. The Utes have built a defensive identity that they can't afford to lose.

I would say your defense better be good! When you roll with one of the worst offenses, ya gotta have something to keep you afloat! Utes are about to be baptized with fire next year. No more Orchard, Booker, and Anderson. Without those 3 the utes are a 3 win team. Time to find yourselves a half decent qb none of this CainWynnWilson garbage we've seen since BJ graduated 6 years ago.

This coming from a guy who thought BYU was better than Utah not even a quarter into the season. You have been just about as wrong as a person can get when it comes to your college football predictions in this thread. Why should we believe that you are right this time and we are going to be a 3 win team next season? Thriller, you blow things way out of proportion constantly when it comes to Utah football.

I know that the Utes won't be playing in the Miami Beach Bowl(let alone losing) so no matter how things go next year at least I know they could be worse.
Have fun playing against the American year in year out. It sounds soooo exciting.
PS Utah would have gone undefeated if they had the same schedule as BYU did last year and you know it.
Nuff said.

Fwiw, they might have been at that time of the season. (Pre- taysom injury)

Definitely would have had a chance. Going undefeated is hard though. How many teams were undefeated this past season? A loss can happen at any time, against any team if things just happen to go wrong. I don't think washington state is better than utah was but upsets do happen sometimes.
The utes would have been favored in every game though with a byu type schedule and would have had a decent chance at going undefeated

I respect your opinion but vehemently disagree with it. The BYU defense was terrible and the Ute defense was pretty damn good overall. We played in 2013 when you had Hill in Provo and you still lost. I don't see BYU winning in a head to head against Utah if they had played this season. It's one thing to beat Connecticut, Texas, Houston, and Virginia to start the season. It's a different thing entirely to have to go to RES and beat Utah when you're BYU(rivalry).
Could we have laid and egg like in the WSU game? Sure. I think we would have still been easily the favorite if that matchup were to happen though.
