Utah Ute football: Openers have been tough tests

I read last night that the starting tailback for Michigan has been suspended for the Utah game.

I have not followed Michigan at all but this must be good for Utah. Certainly can't hurt.

I'm a diehard Cougar fan who prays Utah loses only one game this year: The Holy War baby!

Having Utah undefeated for that game only makes victory that much sweeter. And by one point or fifty I could care less.

In all seriousness I hope Utah beats Michigan. Good for Utah, MWC, BCS busting and also BYU.

Go BYU!

this artical has nothing to do with byu. there for, if you have something to say about utah, thats great. but do not talk about something that has nothing to do with this page. (byu).

I'm a diehard Ute fan and I'd love nothing more than for the final regular season game to come down to undeated Utah and BYU teams...with a huge smackdown of the Cougars on Utah's field.

BYU is the class act of the Mountain West as proved on the field the last two years (can't argue that point).
You ought to be happy that there's a Cougar Fan willing to waste time reading and supporting your utes excluding one game of the year. Helk, I don't think the Utes get that much support from most of their fans.
That said, I also hope the utes win all their games up until the BYU game. How sweet it would be.
Go Cougars.

I like the Ute's chances in this game. Michigan has not named a starting QB yet. Rodriguez has been a mess as a coach since the first day. The Ute's return some great starters and have experience, plus the played them tough a couple of years ago so hopefully we can win this one a start the season well. Plus as a Buckeye I like to see Michigan lose.

Let's stop the hype. The only thing utah is doing this weekend is going to Michigan, a storied past. Presently, the wolverines are in shambles. If utah doesn't win it will be embarassing.

Utes will lose to Michigan, They are to talented for them. Utes will finish third in the MWC, same old same old for the Pukes.

Hey practice what you preach baby. I see your moniker all over byu articles.

Some Preseason Polls rank Michigan at 23 and 24 and don't even recognize BYU or Utah in the top 25. Michigan's defense was great at the end of last year and most of those players are back. And they are a storied and high profile school where all their players are extremely talented and highly recruited. Don't discount Michigan, the rest of the country isn't. They may not have their best team ever but they�ll be a really good team. It should be a great game.

But the Utes will be the team smiling at the end.
GO UTES!

AS is usually the case in order to elevate ones ego out the opponent down. This is the reason enough to have the BYU fans slamming Utah.
Blue bloods what do you even bother, there are articles about the '" Y "' that leave the door open for your schools comments. Leave it alone and get s life.

If you are going to play Michigan in an opening game... well, this is the year.

New coach, new system, players that weren't recruited for this system.

The timing may be right.

Good luck Utes.

Can someone please explain to me how a Jr. college professor has not posted grades yet when school is already starting up again? How is that even possible? Why hasn't anyone brought this up with Dr. Hill or Whit? Dr. Hill needs to get on the phone with Mount San Antonio College and figure out what the crap is going on down there.

is that Utah will get pounded this weekend. Michigan's program may have fallen a bit, but a bad Michigan program is still A LOT better than a good Utah program. And, Utah's program is not as good as it once was.

Bad Michigan Program vs. Mediocre Utah Program = Michigan beats Utah easily.

Unfortunately, the Utes can't win on this one. If they beat Michigan, folks will say "of course they beat Michigan, Michigan is a terrible team." If they lose, folks will just say, "see, even a crappy Michigan team can beat a good U team."

BYU is in a similar situation with UCLA and Washington.

The Uters are going to roll in the big house, they will beat Michagan like a drum. byu is going to loose against the high school all star team they are playing.

I can't read a Utah artcle without some genious slamming the Utes that doesnt have anything to do with the newspaper article.,

Correction. Both polls, that matter, have BYU ranked in the top 20. But you are correct, the Utes are not in the top 25.

I agree with Preseason Polls. Michigan will be good you can guarantee that. Even though they have a new coach, new quarterback and a lot of variables, it's Michigan and talent is drawn to that school. But Still if Utah prepares I think they can win. I am stoked to see how Asiata and Mack perform. Do well my Utah brothers, but watch out at the end of the season, for the cougars will lead to your demise!

byu would win this game by a ton.
