I think the trash talking is down mostly because:
1. The season has just started.
2. Utah can still go to the Rose Bowl even if they lose this one.
3. Both offenses have sucked this year. No one honestly believes that their team is going to do much offensively.
4. And neither QB... Neither team even, has a villain (yet). Wynn is playing with one arm, hard to make fun of him for that (although his hair is stupid). Heaps hasn't said or done anything to irritate Utes. There aren't any receivers talking about living better than the other team. No red headed obnoxious offensive linemen running their mouths...
What this rivalry needs right now is a loudmouth player to get the emotions going. Can't Jacobson or Wynn say something? Someone needs to dump some Caffeine free diet coke or jello on Wynn's family.

tell me those faces are photo shopped, horror movie esque...
i know in the grand scheme of things this game probably won't mean much but when it finally starts(late late start) it will have that big game feeling like they always do. your competitive juices start flowing and you want to win this game badly. in that sense it is important for the utes to win a big game on the road to get some confidence back.
defense and special teams huge as i doubt either team will come out firing on all cylinders, will probably be like a 10-7 game at halftime

We are going to be explosive today. I predict 500 + yards of high octane Brandon Doman offense. 40 pts at least.
BYU 56
Utah 21

Agreed!
But how will they get the beer through BYU security? And they don't sell any at the stadium... So...
There is plenty of Caffeine free drinks...

I expect a close game. Who wouldn't with a rivalry that has gone 11-11 in the last 22 years. I could see this one coming down to the very end. I'll take Utah to win this one 21-17

This used to be the best game of the year.
Now I'm apathetic about it. I was more excited for the USC game.
I think the heat of this rivalry is definitely affected by the changes this year.

I've been reading that there are still tickets available for this game! That's unbelievable. Seems the folks in Provo know whats coming and aren't too excited to go see it happen in person.......

Well obviously it kind of reflects poorly on both schools, since Utah fans should be wanting to scrape up all the extra tickets they can get, no?
The reality is BYU went with a business decision on this game and threw in some pricing gimmicks where this game is 3X or more the cost of every other home game this year, so that's the main driver. It would be like asking somebody to go fill up their gas tank at $12/gallon tomorrow or something. Or just look at what's happened to Netflix since they've raised their prices. There is a breaking point for everything. Granted in the scheme of college athletics as a whole these days the tickets are probably still reasonably priced, but I'm not surprised some people are balking. It's weird to see that $$$ amount when you're used to something else.
