I am glad to be a USU fan this year. That U game was brutal to watch last night, I had to turn it off.

Take your pick between WSU, Weber State, Idaho, San Jose State, and New Mexico State. Can't offer much beyond that.
Utes,
I was deeply saddened by the news about the death of your offense and defense.
This must be a very difficult time for you.
Please remember that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Condolences on your loss.

Quoted for, uh, inadvertent humor.
Now you know what all of us have known for some time.
What's really shocking is that Ute fans actually think this is complimentary. SOOOO COOOL!!! I hope your daughters go to the U.
I wasn't saddened at all. In fact, it made my day. Hell, it made my week.

Biggest disappointment but not necessarily a big surprise is the Oline, 2nd was John White hopefully it is because he's not healthy because that was horrible several times it looked like he ran to the defender to get tackled as quickly as he could.
Tied for the 3rd most was the D and the play calling (OC) however they looked worse IMO because of the first two things. I was of course wanting a win but was prepared for a loss but not like that, guess this is the growing pains I was somewhat thinking of for Brian Johnson as the new OC.

I think the problems are all so bad it's not even worthwhile to rank them.

What has been surprising/disappointing to me is the passing game. In particular, the receivers have been non existent.
Has Devonte Christopher caught a pass this season? He certainly hasn't been a factor in any game. Dres Anderson has been more of a factor than Christopher, but he's mostly been a non factor too.
Utah has all these athletic, NFL caliber receivers. And yet we haven't seen anything from any of them yet.
Is that on Brian Johnson? The QB play has been bad, but it was even worse last year and the receivers were still part of the offense.

It's on the OL. The quarterback needs time for the routes to be run, and then get rid of the ball. Right now they can't run any deep patterns or anything fun because the O-Line collapses so darn quickly.

Yeah, the I line has sucked, no doubt. But the tight ends are still catching passes. The receivers have been M.I.A. so far though.
We just have problems all over in the offense.
Good point in the o line though. A good o line can certainly make everyone else look good.

Rumor has it that the loss at AZ State has really pissed off Whit... so much so that they're doing a complete re-analysis of each position and depth chart. I hear there's already been a few changes made in the backfield, as in, Mo Lee no longer first string.

The thing I like about the Utes situation this year is that it doesn't seem correctable.
