How much does Montana State win by on Thursday?

By half as much as the Y? loses to Miss St. by, but then what do I know I'm some drunk belligerent U fan.

I actually think both teams will win, only concern should just be that far of a trip back east as these kids aren't pros (similar worry I have for the U going back to Pitt).

Utah rolls on Thursday, but I do believe that Montana State isn't much worse than Ole Miss. Right now the Rebels sound like a train wreck. In all honesty, if BYU loses that game it's not OK. Especially after this summer-long media love fest about how this is Bronco's best team ever.
 
Are the Utes going to run some trick plays against Montana State?
I hear that's why they closed practice to the Media, didn't want word getting out.

Keith McGill plans to do most of his talking on the field

Newcomer Keith McGill was the talk of camp as the junior-college transfer consistently stood out as one of the Utah Utes’ best performers.

The only one who wasn’t talking about McGill was the defensive back himself.

McGill put himself on media lockdown for much of the camp because he felt he stood out from his teammates not for the skills he was showing, but for what wasn’t showing on his helmet.

A Utah tradition maintains players have to earn the drum and feather that adorns their helmets by making a couple of good plays, showing hustle, etc.

Utah’s coaches started awarding the logos the first day of camp, but as good as McGill was, he kept getting passed over.

“Coaches told me they were holding me to higher expectations, and I felt I was letting my team down because I didn’t have the drum and feather,” he said. “My name was getting called after practice [for interviews] and I didn’t feel like I deserved it. I wanted to prove to the team I had it.”

So McGill put himself on media lockdown until he earned the coveted logo. He finally got one the last week of camp.

“I hustled everywhere and made a couple plays,” he said. “It felt great. I put it on my helmet as soon as I got it. I was given everything in high school, so I took earning it real serious.”
Even though he has lifted his media ban, McGill, who is slated to start at free safety, still plans to keep earning the right to wear the logo.

“I take it real serious,” he said. “It’s my upbringing.”
