Utah vs. #15 Pitt

I'm glad the Utes won, but that timeout crap at the end was just garbage. I detest it when coaches do that. I can't believe you can do it twice in a row. That's a penalty in the pros. But just one more reason why the pros are the pros.
 
A begrudging congrats to the Utes. Hate them with a passion, but they were the better team - despite trying to give the game away.
I don't disagree with calling a Timeout to "ice" a kicker, but I don't think the officials should let it be called that late. And there should be a rule in college against calling one 2x in a row.

But Utes won, so bully for them!

i hope you're right but I think putting Pitt away will be harder than you make it sound. Wannstedt is stubborn enough to stay with the run all not long, even if it's not working at all. If they wear Utah down, and it's close in the 4th Qtr, this could easily turn into a nightmare for Utah.

With that being said, if Utah can get up by a couple of scores, that nullifies Pitt's running game a bit and maybe Utah can find a way to get outta this game with what seems like an easy win.

While the game was far from as easy as I had hoped (mostly because of bone headed penalties and Shaky). Utah's defense absolutely shut down the running game. Pitt's QB made some plays and kept it close like I said he would have to. He also made the play that lost them the game.

Wynn will cost the Utes at least a couple of games before the year is done.

Wynn played pretty good. The INT in the end zone was bad but he was under heavy pressure at the time. He made some really good plays and some questionable ones.

I think it's the pass defense that is going to cost them a few games if they don't get it figured out.
 
Wynn looked good in the first half. Looked like crap in the second. I'm not sure if it was that hit that he took late in the 2nd quarter or what. But he lost his composure and started dancing with his happy feet. Needs to avoid that, set up, and make throws like a man. Happy feet and throwing off balance results in crappy floaters, like that pass he made to Pitt's linebacker in the endzone. .

He also needs to get better at the blitzes. The few times Pitt blitzed he struggled to find the hot receiver. It was early in the first quarter when Pitt blitzed a few times and Wynn somehow managed a few times to get rid of it and made some great plays. I think one was a dumpoff to Wide just as Wynn was having his facemask taken off. That play was nice.

Yet, that tapered off and nearly every time Pitt blitzed later in the game they found success. If he can improve on that(which he probably will. QBs with good arms always look for the big plays. It takes time for them to learn patience), lookout.

I liked the aggressive play calling too. Although, I would much rather see more Asiata than Wide right now. Perhaps it was the way Pitt's defense played... It just seemed like Wide hit the Pitt wall and folded, while Asiata could at least gain a few yards.

Defense looked fantastic. Especially against Pitt's stud receiver. Mike Shannahan was the receiver that hurt the Utes. You can live with that. I'll take my chances with Mike trying to win games than any of Pitt's other big time players.

Penalties hurt, Utes can't get any worse there.

Shaky was horrible and was clearly Pitt's best player tonight. So many play on words haters could make right now...

Utes looked pretty darn athletic and tough. I think they'll surprise a few more teams this year after starting unranked. I can't wait until TCU comes into town....

Wow, your head is so far up your *** it is scary. Every thread you post in it is pretty much the same thing. You say how horrible and idiotic BYU fans are while you fit your hated mold exactly. Good job. Both side's fans are pretty much the same. It is a rivarly, it is how it works. The fact that you dont see that and actually believe your side is somehow a better caliber of fan shows your head hasnt seen light in a while.

Except that my I brought points about the title of the thread and did not just troll like your quoted post or like all of trollnan's posts. And my points about the actual game were not that far off.

Good post but I disagree with your criticism of Wide. He had one huge run where he dragged 3 guys for 4 or 5 yards after getting 15 before. He also made some plays as the dump off receiver and could have had a few others if Wynn could have got him the ball.

284 yds, 3TD, I will take that every game let alone the opening game.

Those numbers are deceiving. Most of Wynn's "pass yardage" came after the receiver caught the ball and did an exceptional job of turning a 5-10 yard pass into a 40 yard gain. Wynn's receivers make him look much better than he is.
