Awesome, who would have thought that cold hands turned the game around, huh? Ha
ha, maybe they will be putting their hands in the Gatorade buckets from now on!
Go Utes. | 11:26 p.m. Oct. 13, 2009
Nice coaching Kyle! It takes a general to make that move. You see the guys
huddling arond the heaters and not caring about the game and what do you do?
Turn off the heat. Thats old-school. I love it.

Cain is emerging as the next great Utah QB. As he gets more comfortable with the
offense and his receivers' capabilities, his stats will be even more
impressive.

I heard he's polishing his Sugar Bowl MVP and MWC Player of the Year
trophies.
re: moose | 9:23 a.m. Oct. 14, 2009
Last years QB is writing for this paper, working in sports radio and working
with the coaching staff at the U. Oh yeah he also has his picture on the cover
of EA Sports College Football game.
How many QB's are currently in the NFL from your school?? I guess Collie is the only skill position player you have put in the NFL for a long time.
Even better - how many players have you put into the NBA??
keep talking, printing shirts etc.... we will just keep winning.
Go Utes!!!

He is probably polishing his Sugar Bowl Ring!!!! What are you doing now????
maybe washing your byu intramural flag football t-shirt!!! I know for you guys
its all about how you win games, for us its just about winning them and it seems
to be working allright. 25 - 2 in our last 27 games o yeah and 8 straight bowl
wins!!!!!
re: Moose on the loose | 10:01 a.m. Oct. 14, 2009
Not every QB makes it pro after college. Doesn't tarnish the legacy they
leave. Poor Moose, still mad that your Broncos didn't get the BCS bid last
year?
You're a whiner and a hater Moose.

While he is helping Cain fill his shoes, he probably thinks back to the butt
whipping he gave the TDS, the Sugar Bowl win and deciding if he will pursue a
pro career, get into radio or coaching.
Impressive | 10:29 a.m. Oct. 14, 2009
"[Cain] also leads the MWC quarterbacks in rushing."
Not bad. That title usually goes to whomever is under center at Air Force.
Just don't get injured.

When did John Beck get a job selling cell phones at university mall? I could
have sworn he was making seven figures on an NFL roster for the third straight
year. Not that Beck plays much, but I'd take even the league minimum to
play 2nd/3rd string and be the next guy in if #1 went down. Better yet,
I'd take tens of millions of dollars a year to be the biggest #1 pick flop
in NFL history and ride the pine like Alex Smith.
Not Great | 11:45 a.m. Oct. 14, 2009
Not impressed at all. Cain looked awful at Oregon and missed easy passes down
field. Anyone can look great against bad competition just ask BYU. Utah's
offense was terrible for the majority of the SJSU and Colorado State game. Good
thing Utah only faces one more good defense this year in TCU.
Don't mind Moose, | 11:46 a.m. Oct. 14, 2009
He is just a bitter little child who is angry that Utah has outshone his
Broncos. He can't help it that he is a clueless imbecile. I am sure that
he is hoping one day there will be a cure for stupid. Until then, he will
continue to be bitter about his lack of any intelligence and will take it out on
those her perceives as superior.

What's wrong with selling cell phones @ the mall? I think its a great job.
Ute Fan | 12:39 p.m. Oct. 14, 2009
Sorry to break up the sophmoric love fest between all involved, I mean just get
a room please.
Love BJ, but Cain is really a Dennis Dixon in Red, and I mean that as a serious compliment. He will go down on the short list at Utah.
Grosscup, Mitchell, McCoy, Smith, Johnson
Keep it up Mr. Cain.
Go Utes!!

7 figures? | 1:11 p.m. Oct. 14, 2009
7 figures for John Beck? 6 figures for sure, but 7? I heard only MLM
superstars make 7 figures.
spoons44 | 1:14 p.m. Oct. 14, 2009
Considering the loosers we have had at QB, I would say Cain is doing ok. He has
upside and will only get better. He looked bad at Oregon, but it was his third
start and first against a team with a defence.
Arceneaux, Crosswhite, Rice, Crowshaw, Grady. We have been spoiled with Smith and Johnson, but compared with teh 5 listed above, I would take Cain anyday (probably better than Ratliff - another Utah QB who is making a paycheck in the NFL).

To bYu fans that think they can talk the NFL smack becuase they are awfull on
the field.
How many QB's does bYu have in the league? Well guess what Utah has one more: Brett Ratliff, Alex Smith. So much for QBU, HAHAHAHA.
Face it Cain is a better QB than Maxi. Utah football is better than the little sister down south.
Zoobs are pathetic.

Hey moose, don't diss brian johnson! He's more accomplished than any
QB your broncos have ever had!
FYI | 2:17 p.m. Oct. 14, 2009
Moose is zoob who only poses as a BSU fan since the tdS has nothing on the Utes.
The Utes have 2 BCS bowls and are 5-2 vs the "why?" in the last full
recruiting cycle.
At least the Broncos made it to ONE BCS bowl, and beat us the last few times we played.
Until the tdS does anything of consequence in this century, they will always be taking a backseat to the top non-BCS schools of our era: Utah, TCU, and Boise St.
No zoobs!

Cain | 2:39 p.m. Oct. 14, 2009
Really seemed like things started kicking in for him the second half Saturday.
Even the first drive that ended in a fumble was moving effectively down the
field. Schramm seemed to turn the game over to Cain more, letting him go with
the first play call instead of stopping and looking to the sidelines after the D
had already aligned. They got a nice groove going and looked sharp.
Perhaps this was the point Terrance Cain became a DI QB. I think so, and we'll see it continue on Saturday.

Doesn't matter how great Cain is, the yewts will still end up in 4th place
in the MWC.
Loses to A.F., TCU, BYU and maybe this week end.
Only my Broncos will break the BCS this year and would beat the yewts if we played you.
GO BOISE STATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BSU WHO? | 4:37 p.m. Oct. 14, 2009
BSU plays 1 BCS team this year and gets all of this hype. Why? Last year
undefeated in reg. season get beat by TCU runner up in MWC. The blue turf is a
cheap trick to play on the visiting team. It should be illegal, defense cant
differentiate turf from ball carrier. Only team in country that does it.
Gimmic field, a lot of gimmic plays. It is the only way they beat OU in their
first and last BCS appearance. Very overrated!!
re: Boise State Fan? | 4:37 p.m. Oct. 14, 2009
Try zoob! The tdS has NO shot at a BCS Bowl this season, so you glom onto a
team with really no rivarly with the Utes. Last year proved who was BCS worthy.
TCU proved it wasn't the tdS or BSU. Utes take center stage. TCU enters
stage right. BSU watches from the peanut gallery. ybU can't gain
admission.
Gosh darn Bouncers.

Stop getting sucked into the troll that is Moose it's sad. Just ignore him
and he'll go away. He, for some weird reason, gets his jollies off of
firing people up.
C'mon don't give in and ignore.

Big Green Tractor | 5:35 p.m. Oct. 14, 2009
If he was just as good, we would have beaten Oregon and still be undefeated.
Cain is really good, certainly better than Max Hall haha, but come on. He
isn't as good as Brian Johnson.
My $.02

re:Big Green Tractor | 5:59 p.m. Oct. 14, 2009
I was there in BJ's first year playing D1. Cain is better. How did Johnson
do his junior year? Cain still has anither year to play. At this point,
he's better than BJ. Not trying to diss BJ, he was great
Hey Boise Fans | 9:01 p.m. Oct. 14, 2009
I'm not sure I'd be talking too much smack tonight. The Broncos seem
to be struggling pretty hard against an unranked team. Tulsa's looking
like it has a chance. You know what happens if you lose -- no BCS bid for the
Smurfs.
Re: Hey Boise Fans | 9:10 p.m. Oct. 14, 2009
Either way, it's not the win Boise State needed to impress the BCS and
national media.
Hey Smurfies, even if you win, you lose!

@ Ute Fan... | 12:29 p.m. Oct. 15, 2009
You forgot to add the following to your list...
Crosswhite
Aresenaeux
Stevens
Perhaps you can storm the field and tear down goalposts again after beating TCU.

BJ-Cain | 12:32 p.m. Oct. 15, 2009
For a first year starter, I'd say Cain is miles ahead of where BJ was, who
went 5-5 his first season as a starter. Comparing junior seasons, it's
tough to compare since BJ was hurt the first part of the season. Record-wise,
Cain is ahead, but BJ had that ability to pull a team together late in games:
haven't seen that as much yet from Cain. He did help put San Jose State
away, but threw a pick that thwarted a comeback against Oregon, and the D really
stepped up to win the game against CSU.
Cain definitely has a better surrounding cast than BJ did his first year, and there was more continuity with the coaching staff (albeit not much) than after the last BCS win.
Cain is a perfect QB for the Ute system and he'll do a good job this year and next. I don't see a BCS run for him his senior year, but that won't be his fault: way too much gone on D next season. Good luck, except on Saturdays in late November.
Go Cougars.

BJ-Cain Comparison | 1:05 p.m. Oct. 15, 2009
Not a fair comparison. BJ's first year the team was desimated by guys
leaving for the NFL. It was left to BJ to be the entire offense. If you
remember, he was very successful at moving the team up and down the field, he
was something like 5th in the nation in total offense when he got injured. He
just wasn't able to get the ball in the endzone, and not turn it over.
Up until the second half Saturday, Cain had not been put in the situation to go win the game. He's been a manager, not a star. And that ploy has paid off. He didn't lose games for Utah like BJ did when he started. Cain has come along nicely, and actually seemed more comfortable Saturday without Asiata. Quicker backs are giving him more options on each play, and he's reacting more than just watching Matt run up the middle.
Cain could very easily do something BJ didn't, win 2 MWC titles, before he leaves. And then Jordan Wynn takes over and we'll see the Wynn/Heaps matchup for 3 years. Good times at the U.

making me feel 11 million times worse for my team's decision to waste their
#1 draft pick that year.
