Utah Utes football: Tough Wynn

than an ugly loss.
I will take an ugly win --but Utah coaches should work on the team offense in a hurry. TCU is only 2 weeks away.

is leading USC by 3 TDs, 41-20
Remember...Oregon defeated Utah by 1 TD (Utah could have tied if not for a stupid turnover at the end of the game)
We are a decent team, but will be crushed in Fort Worth.
there is no room for fans like you.
I believe Utah will get a win over Lobos and set up for a tough show down with TCU.
With Wynn at the QB, it will be an ugly win over TCU --but I will gladly take it.
Go UTES!!!
Wynn looked good though. It will be interesting to see who starts at QB next week.
And I'm glad Roderick was calling the plays after the half. I think Kyle should have named him OC last year instead of the "Co-offensive coordinators" before Arron left for Washington. But Kyle knows alot more than me.
Glad we won it, and I am a huge Ute fan, but I don't think we really look like a top 15 team. Maybe more like #25, but it does seem like not too many teams are playing extremely well except for TCU, Texas, BSU, Cincinatti, and now Oregon.
bowl game for you this year. TCU is going to be the champs and take your place. HAHAHAHA
Um, after they go undefeated and destroy a legendary top 5 team in a BCS bowl, then I will hear your argument. We still have a couple months left. TCU still has something to prove. '04 and '08 Utes at 13-0 and BCS victory. Those are the kings of the (10-year-old) MWC so far.
The luck will soon go away and TCU and BYU will cause a lot of PAIN!!!
I saw a lot of empty (sold out) seats tonight. The no shows must have been out Trick or Treating.
Predict TCU by 30 or more!
It's time to turn off the computer.
TCU best MWC ever? Whatever. They haven't even been to a BCS bowl yet. You are way off. The '04 Ute team under Urban is the best MWC team ever. And everyone knows it. That isn't even debatable.
And why do so many loser Boise fans post in so many local Utah forums. Don't they even have technology in Boise? Go play someone with a winning record for once.
Dont call Utah fans delusional about what games they think they have a chance at winning.
TCU 35
Utah 6
Wynn is NO better than Cain at this stage. In fact, it's only because of the Utah defense that Utah was able to have the ball more in the second-half and the O-line finally started playing well.
But Wynn threw a horrible pass that should have been returned for a TD, which would have pretty much ended the game. Fortunately for Utah, the DB dropped it.
But his passes aren't crisp. He telegraphed, and he is not an option threat. He hands off to Wide on every option play, so once Utah faces a decent opponent, all the pressure will be on Wynn and Wide because the defense will know what's coming.
Wynn will be good in a few years, but how do you justify benching a QB who is 6-1 and was 10-13 in the first half when he was benched??
I'll tell you how: a recruiting promise. Wynn's whole entourage was there - and they knew he'd be playing tonight.
Glad the U got the win. But upset in the decision at QB.
And BYU? they thought they had a chance at a national championship after beating, what's turned out to be, a very mediocre Oklahoma team. But CRUSHED by a bad Florida State team and killed by a good TCU team.
You can't take the fact that Utah's 7-1, huh?
Go UTES!!!
Mark my words - this TCU team is the best ever in the MWC - THE BEST EVER.
It's a shame you don't get to play your "friends" up north this year because we would really take it to you!
By the way, impressive win Utes.
Go Utes just win baby.
Pretty pathetic.
Like I said, I think we are a decent team. However, TCU is dominant and there is no way that with our lack of offense that we will give them any problems. I think we have a solid shot against BYU, but count on a 2nd loss after that TCU game.
Also, the comment that the Oregon that we played is different than the current Oregon team is absolutely true. Did you see those boys tonight? They are 5X better than when we played them. They are really clicking!
So if TCU was far superior then why did we beat them? Oh, we got lucky? Didnt TCU only manage 10 points? Was it the missed field goals? That's must of been lucky. Or...a field goal is just another football play and they didnt execute the play. Just remember, TCU did NOTHING against Utah after the first quarter. Utah's D was excellent. What about TCU v. BSU in the bowl game last year?
There is no way you would know if you would take it to Utah because we are a top program. Boise doesnt seem to like to play any top programs, maybe once a year if that. No wonder you always go undefeated!
I credit Utah's coaches with making a tough decision but I think it was the right one. Remember this is Wynn's first game and no one is saying that he looked awesome, he should be able to improve upon his performance.
And to all of those who say this was a weak MWC team, I disagree. I thought Wyoming's defense looked pretty good from the very starts, give them some credit.
BSU really manned up that night, without trick plays where would you be? just a pretender like when they play any team that is really tough.
1) TCU needs to win 'em all, including their bowl game.
2) Don't call Pitt weak and Alabama disinterested as excuses for getting their butts kicked by the Utes.
3) I think the 2004 Utah team was and is the best MWC team that the MWC will ever see. That team dominated everyone and won every game by at least 14 points. TCU has already has 2 close games - they only beat Air Force by 3 points, and barely beat Clemson as well, so do your research before you start talking smack.
4) Again, try to tell me this year's TCU team would beat that Utah team - that 2004 team was the best team in the country that year - Urban Meyer + Alex Smith = unbeatable.
5) Quit leaving your messages on this message board.
However, this is a rebuilding year. They lose 2 cordinators, QB (MVP of the league), 2 corners who are now in the NFL and Krueger leaves early. And despite all that they are still in the top 20 and winning games. And the only loss so far is in Autzen. TCU does appear to be the best team in the league, however, Utah is doing well and should be bowling once again. And although there have been struggles, Whit has the reputation of getting the team ready for big games.
To BYU trolls, you already wasted your season. 2 blow out losses at home means you can't talk.
To Boise trolls, you're good but TCU is better. They beat you last year. And they play better competition.
I want the Utes to win always, but will not be sad to see TCU in a BCS game. They will have deserved it and should represent the MWC very well.
Go Utes, if not, Go frogs
College football is a win now sport- YOu just don't know what things will be like in a few years and you have to make decisions on what makes you better today and not potentially four and a half years down the road.
Cain fumbles, isn't trusted to throw the ball downfield and makes it easy for a defense to drop 8-9 in coverege because all Cain can do is throw short passes.
I think we will see defenses respect Wynn's arm more and it should open things up a little more. Good decision Kyle!
BSU fans, were you guys not interested in your bowl game last year? That must be why you got spanked so bad.
TCU fans should be ashamed. I watched parts of today's game, there was maybe 30k fans there at the most. Fans looked bored and uninterested. You want national respect yet your stadium is empty. So much for texas football pride.
The Utes will just continue to improve and the restof you will continue to try to downplay our success to make yourselves feel better. It is kinda sad to watch you guys.
GO UTES!!
Utah has trailed in a number of its games and is being excoriated for its inconsistencies.
All Utah does consistently is win games.
Hookem!!!
And to those posters who insist that TCU was a "far" better team last year, doesn't the scoreboard mean ANYTHING to you guys? Last time I checked, there are still only 2 columns in the football standings: W and L. No coulda's shoulda's woulda's, only did's or didn'ts.
