Utah Utes football: Team expects Cowboys to be intense

Maybe they should run a two minute drill for their first five possessions... it seems to work a lot better than their regular offensive schemes.

Go Utes.

I hope Wyoming cleans house this weekend and sticks it to the Utes.

I do agree. Why wait until only two minutes are left in the game to start playing football.

The Cowboys are looking forward to giving the Utes a warm welcome in Laramie.

Utah has been elevated to most favored opponent status, ahead of BYU and Colorado State.

Congratulations!

See ya'll Saturday.

The reason they don't run the two minute offense the whole game is because the other team isn't a prevent defense the whole game. When Johnson has pressure, he folds. When the other team is in a prevent defense there is no pressure on Johnson and he performs better.

We really want/need this win over you guys. Our players are fired up and we're going to surprise Salt Lake City.

Playing Utah isn't normally nearly as exciting as playing a big-time team like BYU or USC, but we really want this game for our coach.

Don'believe me now? Utah fans, you'll all believe me later. Go Cowboys!!!

playing wyo is alot like playing utah state now
a win is like kissing your sister, you do it but with out much passion

Dear Cowboy Nation:
A "big-time team like BYU or USC. I wasn't aware that they were playing on the same level. To my recollection BYU has not played in a BCS bowl, Utah has. USC lost to Oregon St, where Utah did not. Now, I am not saying that the U is better than USC, but I am saying that I don't think there is much separation, they are all nationally ranked teams.

GO Utes!

Wyoming Cowboys' football practice was delayed on Monday for nearly

BYU fans never cease to amaze me with the lengths they will go to to put down their rival. Pathetic.

Hey CowboyNation! I know were not as big time to get up for as Bowling Green, but hopefully you give us a reasonable challenge.

Emotion up will only get you so far. You need talent to win football games and it looks as though Wyo is lacking on talent this season.

the only thing the cowgirls can do on offense is run the ball and Utah has one of the best run defenses in the nation. Just look at the Air Force or Michigan game and they have a better run attack than Wyoming. Should be an easy, boring win for the Utes. Utah 37 Cowgirls 10

If the utes don't hang another 50 on you then you can have your moral victory and hang you hats on the fact that you scored on a conference apponent. I guess we'll all see on Saturday!

Any of you cougar...er, I mean COWBOY fans wanna "guarantee" a victory over the Utes THIS year?

My favorite team this week is Wyoming. Go Cowboys
Utah are lossers.

Since Wyo isn't very good this year Utah should be able to win this game without any trouble no matter how badly Wyo is feeling the revenge factor, knock on wood. Dang, where's some wood...ok I don't see any around right now so I'll try to find some later to knock on if I don't forget.

"Utah's ability to score down the stretch proved to be the difference against the Falcons and Beavers. It's no accident. The two-minute drill is something the Utes pay a lot of attention to..."

I have to agree with the Ref: Jim B comment above. A big reason the 2-minute drill has worked so well is because the opponent went into a stupid prevent defense. When are DC's going to learn that their teams get burned doing that? If your D has been doing well the whole game then stick with it, don't throw in the prevent defense. Sheesh.

(Oh brother) Home coming fans at war memorial are not going to be hearing much of that fight song on Saturday.

No other gang of college men dare meet us in the muss will be the refrain in Laramie on Sat. The Utes are going to be 7-0.

(Yippie Kai yay)

I'm glad you're looking to surprise Salt Lake City. You do realize the game is being played in Laramie though right? I guess that would surprise Salt Lake City, since nobody knew there was a game here this weekend!

A byu fan here.........gosh you ute fans are arrogant....if I was a Wyo. fan I'd be concerned about stopping your offense...they havn't done very well at that this season........but the sheer audacity of the attitude you guys carry.....berate Wyoming all you want to their fan base....it will just make them hunker down...or in other words you brave boys and girls going to make the trip to laramie on Saturday and actually wear red to the game...?its like wearing blue in Salt Lake in late November......admirable...but stupid...you'll be a target...a big red target...and do ya think it'll be over after the game while you hoot and holler about your victory...anything in that parking lot around War Memorial Stadium with a Utah plate??? Fodder for Joe Glenn lover's...and I for one like Joe Gleen as a coach....he has fire in his belly...and that fire will be there in Saturday....you'll see it in his eyes....his player's eyes, the fans and anything else...their mascot will breath fire.......a lonely place it will surely be on Saturday because of Kyle's blunder with that onside kick..as a matter of fact they'll still remember this in fifty years...my gosh...could write about YOUR arrogance all day....BYU is arrogant?

Watchout........
