Official Utah Utes Football 2012 Thread

Starting a true freshman QB is always a dicey proposition at best. I think considering Utah's strengths in other areas, Whit probably wants to be cautious when messing with the QB spot. With that being said, I think Wilson is the full time starter before the season is done. Poor play and/or injuries will catch up with Wynn sooner or later.
 
You have to go with Wynn. Very similar to BYU where Hill is the obvious future and talent.

To me, it's Wynn's/Nelson's job to lose.
 
Big Brother kicked your conference's *** tonight.

Lulz... Yep, WSU is clearly the class of the PAC 12.

This game offered little insight, IMO. Wynn looked okay, but he should have looked much better against a team like that.

Dale Murphy's kid had a nice game.
 
I'm not expecting much from Utah State. I think the Utes should win comfortably. The score may not indicate that but the feel of the game should. Then they have another patsy and then conference play starts. Given their weak non-conference schedule, I just hope they go to Tempe without any injuries.

C'mon now. Utah State is solid all across the board. They have the best QB in the state and they have speed at the skilled positions. There's a different vibe for Aggie football the past couple years (especially this year) that I haven't seen in Cache Valley in 20 years.

Do I think Utah will win? Yes, but it's gonna feel just like a Pac-12 game. This game will be harder to win for the Utes than the BYU game.
 
Other than the INT where Dres Anderson had 2-3yrds on his man and Wynn under threw him so bad that not only did he have to stop but come back for the ball Wynn played as well as I could've expected IMO.
The FG kicker is the biggest stinker of the night and a big big worry going into the season. Next biggest disappointment IMO was DeVonte Christopher I hope it was just a bad game but I expected more from the SR. WR.

Jake Murphy with 2x TD's (6 catches overall) had the best game IMO or maybe he just surprised me either way was nice to see the U using the TE's.

Defense wasn't flashy and no one thing or player really stood out to me but the D did what they should've done and anytime you can keep the other team from crossing the 50yrd line for the entire game that has to feel good to them.
So the DE dropping back in coverage intercepting the ball and taking it to the house did not stand out to you?

Star mowing 2 guys and nearly taking the back down in the end zone did not stand out?

I know it's a terrible opponent but the defense played pretty well. Gave up 3 rushing yards in the 1st half.

How long has it been since Utah State was even remotely competitive against Utah?
 
I think the biggest concern for the Utes right now (other than Wynn's health. he might break a shoulder if anyone sneezes on him or pats him on the body too hard...) has gotta be the TV deal.

Fans probably aren't too miffed at missing this snooze against some school I've never even heard of. I mean, seriously, could they beat Snow College? Could this school even beat Alta, East, Jordan, or Timpview HS???

But give this a few more weeks and I have a feeling a lot of folks are going to be losing their minds if this deal isn't made.
Utah has 4 more games on a set station and not one of them are on the pac12 network. This is not even an issue till 9/22 when they play ASU and it does not have a time or station yet so it's unknown whether or not it will be a problem.
 
Maybe it's a good thing the PAC12 network isn't on everywhere.

WSU gets smoked by BYU
Stanford sneaks past San Jose St
Cal loses at home to Nevada
Colorado loses to Colorado St
