Summary

Aside from not getting a lot of sleep, Utah coach Kyle Whittingham insists he isn't feeling any pressure over his team's disappointing 1-3 start.

INJURY UPDATE: Safety Robert Johnson will miss at least three weeks after dislocating his shoulder early in the UNLV game.

And that's not all that's ailing the injury plagued Utes.

Linebacker Joe Jiannoni (ankle) and defensive lineman Koa Misi (open-wound finger dislocation) are doubtful for Saturday's homecoming game against Utah State. Tight end Colt Sampson (MCL sprain), offensive lineman Corey Seiuli (ankle) and defensive tackle Gabe Long (MCL sprain) are questionable.

Stevenson Sylvester (broken hand) and cornerback Brice McCain (thigh contusion) are expected to play.

wake up!!!

Hey coach, if you aren't feeling any pressure, you should be. It's called inexplicable losses, which leads to explicable pink slip.

Welcome to Oz

The Utes remind me of the Wizard of Oz movie. They have no Heart, no Guts, and NO Brains. But, they do have their drunken fans who wont even notice these three fine qualities...
