Like our chances against the Utes if we get our injured defensive players back :paw_prints::muscle:t2::paw_prints:

Current forecast is 57/42 clear night and no real wind. If that holds, I really like how this sets up for us.

Colorado runs a similar offense this year. They’re familiar with what Utah wanted to do. Best believe Utah will be ready to play us, especially with Gameday being there at night. Coogs better bring it!

Their QB is good but can’t see over the line. Sure fire NFL QB with a bigger frame. Their OLine is better than expected. Their secondary is good.

Their DLine isn’t as good as normal.

They are elite at running up the score on overmatched teams and stat compiling.

They haven’t played anyone nearly as good as the Coogs yet, so nobody knows who they are. The Coogs have stacked games against tough competition.

And yes I’m pulling for the Coogs!

(I do against everyone but BYU anyway, but I think that’s probably nearly universal for BYU fans lol)

Utah’s opponents combined record is 16-22.
No one in the top 50.
The altitude is Utah’s benefit at 4500 ft. Less O2 molecules in the air for our athletes.

Usually guys start slowing down in the middle of the 3rd quarter. Its hard to breathe if you aren’t used to it.

Ok… since we don’t play each other this year (until the CCG), go buy a buttload of tickets and let’s make this a Cougar vs Ute game. Unlike the SEC circular firing squad, let’s work to ensure that our 2 best teams get into the CFP!

That and the partial pressure

Or maybe they were looking ahead to us?
Colorado and coach Neon have been taking a lot of heat lately and I thought they really played hard last night before a nice home crowd. It is hard to get up for every game and just about any Big 12 team can win on a given night.
Anyhow, I am just thankful we won last night and that sets up another huge road game that we can win and keep our noses in the playoff talk…
