Utah vs. #15 Pitt

I'm number one a Utah fan and also like byu, but my goodness I hate byu fans. Utah barely wins the the game they practically tried to give to a top 15 team but still managed to win and dominate the game. The Utah defense was a lot better than I expected especially against the run.

While I thought Utah would be decent against the run last night, I had no idea they'd be that stellar all along the Front 7. It was an amazing effort. The only major defensive problem I saw last night was the two young Safties getting their coverages right in the 4th Qtr. They had a few missed calls and it led to some quick points for Pitt. While that does trouble me a little, I assume it will only get better from here on out.

And as far as individual play, I thought Brian Blechen showed he is the real deal. I've been hearing Weddle comparisons coming out of Utah camp and I was a bit skeptical but I think he showed last night that he is going to be a staple in this Ute defense for years to come. His run support was amazing and he made the biggest defensive play of the night. Not bad for a true freshman starting his 1st game. Once he and Taplin-Ross tighten up those coverage problems I think we're going to see one of the best Safety combos in Ute history.

The last 2 posts in this thread proves that as much as they'd like to deny it, BYU fans are obviously very wrapped up in what Utah is doing.

Not only am I a BYU fan, but I'm also a degenerate gambler so my obsession with Utah goes even further. At least I got my money back last night. What kind of team can't even cover the spread?

I'll bet neither of those teams I saw last night will be ranked at the end of the season.
 
Question for Ute fans: Did you want to strangle Whittingtool after 'icing' the missed kick? I don't know about you guys, but I think that is one of the most bush league 'plays' in football -- and he did it TWICE. What a butt ****.

Admit it, you guys should have probably lost, and Pitt had NO reason to be ranked in the top 50, let alone 15th. Quit thumping your balls like you just beat up one of the best teams in the nation, you didn't. You barely eeked one out at home. Some intellectual honesty would be nice.
 
Is it true Ute fans were holding up signs about BYU in the game? Pitt was their opponent, right? Is this just an intelligence issue or Little Brother just being wrapped up with Big Brother as usual? Probably a combination of both as usual.

no matter how you dice it Utah beat a top 15 team last night with one of the best running backs in college football. Trust me this win by 3 points feels better than if your cougs beat mighty Washington by 20.

Kinda like a BYU fan coming into the Utah vs. Pitt thread to trash the Utes. Probably just an intelligence issue. Or envy.

As a lifelong hater of everything Pitt (a requirement for any WVU fan, along with disdain for Virginia Tech) congrats on making our conference title chase a little easier. :-)

More than likely Washington and Pitt will have similar years. Pitt's quarterback is brand new - that was his first start. It's one thing to be USC or Florida and still be ranked with a new QB coming in but Pitt's only got 4 or 5 really talented guys so you probably could have called BS on their ranking just based on that.

Washinton's QB is supposedly the best QB in the nation and his a Senior. If any year is Washington's year, this would have to be it.
