Lol. Losing your starting QB and a 14 point swing on one play is everything is coming up Aces for Utah?

Credibility...just left the building.

This.
That goal-line fumble and return for an Oregon td changed the game....and not in Utah's favor.

Having said that, I don't think Utah has much of a chance
 
Utah was a double digit doc twice last year...and went 2-0.

We have a very good run defense. Everyone is complaining about our lack of sacks this year, but it's a good thing. Pease isn't blitzing as much and we are still stopping the run and getting pressure. Pressure while only rushing 4 = more people in coverage and errant throws. More people in coverage + errant throws = more interceptions, which we've seen.

Adams hasn't shown he can take care of the ball.

Utah has to control the clock with Booker, Covey and the TE's. No turnovers and time consuming drives. Rest the defense and take away possessions from Oregon.

Which brings me to possessions. We have to have turnovers. Oregon fumbled twice vs Mich St. We have to recover those. Adams threw two picks. We have to get those. You have a couple of 6+ min drives and force 3-4 turnovers you almost can't lose. You have a couple long drives and force two turnovers, it's a toss up aka MSU. No long drives and don't force any turnovers? You're screwed.

I'm not too worried about Autzen. This is a veteran team that has played and won everywhere. I don't think the venue will effect them too much.

Early is the key word there and Kendall getting hurt was beneficial for Utah. He got replaced by your real starting quarterback.

If Utah forces 3-4 turnovers and Adams doesnt play or struggles and Utahs offense does something resembling productive then this game could be within 14 points, but still a loss.

Also didnt know this current Utah team had won at Autzen stadium.

You honestly think that a team that has 4 TO's, poor QB play, and allows the other team's offense to be productive can still win a game. Is this bizzarro world? That is a recipe for failure in college football no matter who you are. Oregon is a good team, maybe even a great team, but they are not invincible. The Utes may not be some imposing national power this year, but they have the right mix to cause Oregon problems. I think this game will be closer than you realize.

Your D gave up big numbers to 2 vastly inferior opponents. What happens when they face a team that's good? We'll see this weekend (and we already saw what happened with MSU).

TL;DR Don't sleep on the Utes.

Utah struggled and barely beat a very piss poor Utah state team with hobbled quarterback that got lucky in their only win of the season against SUU.

Oregon slept against Utes last year to start, then woke up and blew them out of the water in a sub par game from their quaterback.

Probably I am living in the same bizzaro world where you think Utah has a decent chance at winning this game.

Oregon has faced a good team, a much much better team than Utah and barely lost a close game. Oregon did give up some numbers to inferior teams, Oregon often does this. They dont play that hard and put in lots of backups early and often against poor teams, I am guessing Utah will end up with decent numbers since Oregon will have their backups in for most the second half in a blow out again.

That game wasn't a blowout until well into the 4th quarter. In the 4th quarter Utah had come back to get within 3 (27-30) but the wheels fell off because our defense was gassed and we had our backup QB in who can't throw to save his life.

A subpar Mariota game is not the same as a subpar Adams game. Mariota was/is elite. A 'bad' game from him was 124 yds rushing/240 yds passing/0 Int's? If you think Adams has a bad game and gets near those numbers you're homerism is worse than mine.

Oregon won the TO battle 2-0 last year. Notice how turnovers played a HUGE role in that game.

Did you even watch that game? You make it sound like Oregon breezed through it. But that is just not true. To say Oregon will win is logical, they are the better team. But to say they'll win as you have described is overly arrogant.

Haven't missed an Oregon game in about a decade. Maybe Oregon should be worried about a bottom of the barrel pac12 team, but I don't think so.

Yes it got close last year and Oregon decided to end it and blew them out.

Every game is close at some point, that didn't mean its not a blow out.
