Comments about ‘Utah Ute football: Defense got back to the basics’

It was nice to finally see the U defense we expected. Stopping the run, pressuring the QB, getting TO's, and even some PI's thrown in for good measure!

The injury to Talamaveo hurts the depth up front, but personally I like Siliga better at that spot. He's bigger and takes up more space in the run game.

Hope this week off is spent trying to teach the corners how to locate the ball.

Utes have a defense? who knew. .

I'm sure your boy Max Hall does. Didn't he hit them with 4 or 5 perfect passes last year? Although, I understand his confusion, red jerseys are very similar to white.

That is the only way they make the int's. Its not like they made a great play on the ball and picked it off. He had to throw it perfectly right to them. Someone tell Crougar how to run after he catches the ball too, huh...

Should you be talking smack when your team is headed to 6-6?

Moose,
Didn't make a great play on the ball? FYI - Sean Smith is the starting corner for the MIAMI DOLPHINS...so, he's pretty good. Bryce McCain also plays for the Texans.

Please quit trying to make excuses for Max's picks when he throws at least 2 every game, but 5 against defenses with a pulse. Please go to the Cougarboard to talk smack. Also, are you referring to our 6-6 year when our only loss was to Oregon AT Oregon, who just turned around and drubbed #6 Cal at home 42-3? When your FSU team just got beat by South Florida. Wow. BYU will lose to TCU and Utah again this year.

You're right. If Utah's DB's had actually caught every ball they got their hands on, Max would have thrown 9 INT's. That's no joke, go back and watch the game.

Should you be talking smack after that embarrassment in Provo last week? Didn't FSU just lose at home to South Florida? Wow. You got destroyed by a team who should be 1-3 if it weren't for a dramatic comeback win at home over....Jacksonville State! Meanwhile Utah's lose at Oregon is looking better and better.

Senior QB, homefield advantage = Another disappointment in Provo.

Utah is 3-1 right now, meaning they won 75% of their games. Which would mean they are heading to a record of 9-3. Don't they teach basic math at BYU? Guess not.

What are you trying to prove. If the Yewts go 6-2 the rest of the year, it is most likely the loses will be to TCU and BYU. Don't they teach logic at the U? I say the Yewts go 4-4 the rest of the year with loses to CSU, AF, TCU and BYU.

If I were a Zoob I would be trying to distance myself from the FSU game in which they destroyed us and also the FSU follow up game where they got destroyed by an unranked team.

Truth is BYU is never as good as the bubble hype likes to believe!

Amen.
That was one of the worst games I have ever seen. I know FS is fast, but BYU gave up. They had no heart, desire, or answer for any thing that was thrown at them. Unga was the only bright spot. Hall might throw for 300 yards a game, but if your TD/INT ratio is 1:1, that hurts. There are plenty of windows to break in a glass house, so quit throwing stones. Too bad the whole country was watching as well. We'll just have to keep doing what we do to bring what little respect we had back.

I like the guy who was asking if they teach logic at Utah even though he doesn't realize in college football you play 12 games in the regular season, not 8.

I love it when coog fans talk smack.

I'm not sure if you zoob fans have noticed that the Utes are doing what they do every year - they get better and better with every game during the season. As for your coogs, they seemed to have hit their plateau a little early this year... so good luck with that. You are half way to your longest winning streak in a while though - so that is pretty impressive. If you can beat USU this week you will once again have 2 wins in a row. lol...

The Utes will be just fine this year - unlike you why fans, we don't print shirts claiming our excelence, we just go out and improve week to week and occasionally bust the BCS and win our bowl game. So keep talking and singing your primary songs - we all know the truth.

Go Utes!!!

Why is it that when a comment is made against Utah, it is automatically assumed to be a BYU fan?

Personally, I hate Utah football and their fans. I can tolerate BYU fans a little more than Utah. However, NO one can play football like LSU!!

Why in the world would you hate people you don't even know and put everyone in one general category?? Sounds pretty lame to me, whatever the excuse. Calm down and enjoy football for what it is, just a game for pete's sake. Go hate something that deserves it. GO UTES!
