Official UofU homer thread

I think we work Cal over. Their defense is maybe slightly better than Oregon's. Goff is great, but our defense is better than theirs. We haven't blitzed much this year and Cal hasn't seen much of our defense. Sack Lake City returns this game. Before the year started I had Utah winning 35-17.

Remember, this Cal team lost to BYU last year and was in a tight game with Washington last week. They went wire to wire with a mediocre Texas team.

If we are the number 10 team, and we are better than that, we win this game easily.

Enjoy this season.

I hope you're right.

I purposely keep my expectations lowered to mitigate disappointment. Conditioning from being a Jazz fan.

To get this thread back on track.

With the U having a bye week my first reaction was good so they don't have a let down this weekend but someone else thought they would rather have them play and keep the momentum from the Oregon win.

Personally I trust my first instinct that overall it is a good thing not just for to let the the players regroup emotionally but to regroup physically from TW to the Def Line. Although as a general rule another 2 weeks would be a perfect time to have a bye as that would mark the halfway point of the season but those are rare to get scheduled perfectly like that so you just make the best out of whenever the bye week is.

CAL is a much much improved team and this game had me nervous even before their 4-0 start, they are a spread fast pace team just their QB isn't as much of a running threat like Oregon but then their QB is a much better passer then any the Utes have faced this season.

Also the U debut their new home field turf this game which will also be cool to see.

I think bye weeks are always good...... Some come at better times than others but it's always good to be able to get healthy and have an extra week of practices and have an extra week to prepare for a specific opponent...... Plus the opponent does not usually have those same opportunities so they are at the disadvantage.

Here is where this is different, in my eyes:

Whitt is always a straight shooter. When he says our secondary is inexperienced, it is.

When he calls the football team an equal with Oregon, that is something different.

When he says on national tv after the Michigan game that we didn't play well and we should have won by more, that is different.

When the Oregon game ends and Whitt asks if anyone is surprised by the outcome, that is different.
 
So this is the worst week possible for the utes to have a bye, at least for me (which is what matters, right?). After that last game it has already seemed like 2 weeks since it ended and now we have to wait an extra week.
