Utah-v-BYU

Another thing, they should never have their back up QB come in and run their stupid gadget plays again. They have a really good QB that can make big time plays, never take the ball out of his hands.

Such a bad decision.
I think they are throwing him a bone so that he doesn't leave.
Still, horrible decision

Only concern for me on the Utes side is the kick game. We've had a great string of kickers but this could hamper our aspirations.

I still worry about the passing game for the Utes. Just like every other year

I see that BYU got pummeled again.

I’m not worried yet. They didn’t really need to throw much

They had many of the same receivers and qb (and better line) last year though

This thread was far too civil... shame on you all.

Last year they abandoned the run too often and it got them into trouble. They’re always going to be a hit you in the mouth on offense and defense type of team. That’s when they’re at their best, plus the utes historically never look good game one.

Exactly. They are a hit you in the mouth team.
So their weakness is having a passing game to win shootouts consistently.

Now if their defense plays like they normally do then that weakness doesn't manifest itself cause they don't need to air it out. Still a weakness that I see year after year. It's not a secret. Every Utah fan I know complains about the Utes "throw" game, or lack there of. It's also why they always change OC's.
It's not a big deal because they are so good at their strengths but I still think the passing game could be a problem for the Utes in some games. Along with the kicking. (Though that's usually a strength)

Yep. Those are two MAJOR issues too imo. Kicking can lose you games. And offensively, this isn’t 1987. Teams fling the ball all over the place with ease and can score 35-40 no problem. If the Utes want to win some big games this year, they can’t be one dimensional.

Well they didn’t exactly need to throw it vs BYU. My point is that this is how they would rather play if they can. It’s still to early to say they can’t throw the ball. They only threw 16 balls and completed 13, 2 of those being drops.

Last year was fine till the utes had to use a backup qb. Wasn’t mind blowing but it was good till the injury. Utah even fell in love a little too much with their air attack to the detriment of the running game at times.
