Utah vs. Boise in Las Vegas Bowl

[Deleted member 365]

Utah played without 2 starters on offense, and still would have won that game if it weren't for stupid mistakes (dropped passes, penalties, playcalling).

I know you are looking for whatever you can find to make yourself feel better since your team sucks and has no future, but Utah did have the lead after the first quarter. It wasn't exactly the down by at least 3 touchdowns at halftime that you predicted. So don't come in here acting like it was exactly what you said it would be.

Oh well. Utah is off to the PAC 12. I can't complain.

LOL! So predictable!

Even your fellow Ute fans predicted this:

From Bronco just a few minutes ago:

I'm not sure what type of excuses you're waiting for, but I wouldn't expect to see any. Well, Salty... maybe.

Me yesterday:

Lets see how good this Girlsie St. team really is... But that's ok, Utah is going to the PAC-10 and doesn't care about this game, right Salty?

Man, you're so easy to predict.

If we're going to talk about WHAT IFs for Utah, we could also talk about the WHAT IFs for Boise. They could have easily put up another 2 touchdowns had their players not screwed up. That's why you should stick to results, and not WHAT IFs.

Boise DOMINATED the game in every way possible. 200 offensive yards to 523? And you have the nerve to say that Utah would have won the game if not for mistakes? Sheesh.

Fans reactions, CLEARLY.

I'm as much a Utah fan as anyone else on this board. That was my reaction. I guess I'm having trouble following you here...

 

[TroutBum]

So I guess now Thrill, you and Trout can have a good Christmas, dreaming of sugar plums and knees down before the fumble. But if you want spin, you'll have to look elsewhere.

Please don't put me in the same category as this buffoon.

 

[Bronco70]

Thriller - you understand that YOU'RE the one fulfilling all your predictions, right?

You're the one spinning.

Utah played bad, got beat by a better BSU team. Even Salty has said little more than this.

His comment about Utah going to the PAC12 is hardly an excuse. It's just another fact. It doesn't mean Utah was disinterested in the game. Of course they wanted to win. But they didn't.

No big deal. They move on to greener pastures. In the grand scheme of things, this game didn't mean as much to Utah fans as you want it to.

 

[Bronco70]

Please don't put me in the same category as this buffoon.

My sincerest apologies.

It's all good. Jazz won tonight. I just like seeing a team and fanbase that has talked crap being humbled. Bronco, you're one of the more level headed Ute fans on the board anyway.

 

[SaltyDawg]

blah, blah, blah, trolling, trolling, trolling, please pay attention to me...

Like I said, I can't complain. Ask yourself this- would Boise fans trade places with Utah fans right now? Would they rather have lost this game, leaving them with another 10 win season, if they were heading to the PAC 12 next year with a great recruiting class, 3rd year starter at QB, and a defense that just held one of the most powerful offenses in the nation to their season low points?

Heck, I think deep down you know even BYU fans would trade places in a heartbeat.

We lost a game. No big deal. We still have a brighter future than either Boise or BYU so there will be plenty of times when Ute fans are the ones celebrating.

 

[CONAN]

Ya, this game was basically a win/win for the Utes.

If I'm honest, the trash talk leading up to this game has bothered me. I'd rather just see them prove themselves on the field.

But as I said, I'm not surprised by the outcome. BSU is a damn good team.

Thank you for your honesty!

Utah could end up being a very good PAC-12 team.

I just don't it happening with this offensive coaching. The play calling was Anae-isk. And I'm not sold on BJ as a quarterback coach. Being a good QB doesn't mean that you're a good coach. He might turn into one. But as of right now, I think he has a lot to prove.

One thing about the defense, it seems to me that Utah has become a lot more conservative defensively. Perhaps they're missing Anderson as DC? I remember a lot more blitzes and disguises in the past. Remember how Kruger was just brutal when he'd drop back in coverage? They seem to rush the front 4 a lot. And when they want to get pressure, they'll bring someone off the edge. And that's just about it. I'd like to see a lot more on defense.

One last thing, discipline. The same thing that killed them in Provo last year hurt them again tonight.

I mean comon guys. Apart from bad breaks and bad luck and mental errors and bad coaching and games being longer than 15 minutes . . . apart from all that the Utes walk away with this one.
