Comments about ‘Utah Utes football: Utes now look to title showdown with TCU’

Too bad most of us won't be able to see the Utah/TCU game, as it's on CBS College Sports, not Versus or the Mtn.

The problem will be this, TCU will not be a dis-interested team like Alabama was. So I am afraid the lights will go out on the utes season.

They don't sound too scared to me. Take note those of you who feel you have to throw in your two cents. The UTES will be ready and they will leave it on the field, not just leave the field. GO UTES!!!!

Right where we want to be!..so much hype, Go Utes!..memo to tcu: be very careful my friends!!..TcU 27..UTAH 35..final

Now I have something to really complain about.

This looks like it will be a very interesting game. Hoping for Utah to win, but would like TCU to be the BCS buster this year. If the MWC can have one of those each year then we have a outside chance of replacing one of the lackluster BCS automatic qualifying conferences when the review comes up in two years.

the ball that is. Dropped passes, fumbles. The Utes will be blow out the next two weeks. They will drop out of the top 25 and will not be mentioned in those receiving other votes. You will be seeing purple and blue the next two weeks. Go TCU

Great game coming up. Announcers on CBSC talked about it last night and are very excited to cover the game. They are very high on Utah.

Go UTES!!

The Utes just need to understand that it is best for the conference if they lose this game and get out of the way for TCU's BCS bid.

At least that's what they said last year...c'mon Utes, don't cost the rest of the conference millions of dollars with a meaningless win on Saturday!

Utes can't afford a slow start next Saturday. TCU is going to come into the game pump up for a thumping.

Beat the Utes and a BCS Bowl game is all but in the bag. The Horned Frogs know the only team standing in their way is Utah.

Couple that with the memory of last years loss to the Utes and this game is likely to live up to the hype.

I'm a bit torn on this one. I want Utah to win but a loss by TCU likely means no MWC BCS buster this year.

Still ... go Utah! Make it a memorable one for the history books.

I'm thinking I'll have to upgrade my cable for a month to catch this game and the one against tds.

Go Utes!

Obviously Bronco nation will be pulling for the Utes! Utes must win big, though, really big over TCU for Boise State to earn any respect. In Smurfdom, winning games doesn't matter. It's like Coach Petersen says: with BSU it's NEVER good enough. Even being PERFECT doesn't count.

Loose Moose, great too see your fascination with the Utes is still intact. It must be driving you CRAZY right now that Utah just keeps on winning despite having yet played their best ball. I love it! Keep those well thought out prognostications coming. As far as disinterested goes, no hyphen required next time big guy. TCU, while being a great team, knows we match up well against them and the fact that we have beat them 3 out of the last 4 seasons plays into their psyche. Dalton also has a tendency to throw interceptions against the our pressure schemes so we'll see what happens. I think we have a good shot of winning if we limit our mistakes and sustain drives. GO UTES!

The Utes don't have an experienced QB like Brian Johnson ... remember the 80-yd drive in 2-min to win the game? No King Louie to keep the score close ... remember the 49-yd field goal? No Paul Kruger ... remember he had 3 sacks on Andy Dalton? No Sean Smith and Robert Johnson to shut down the the pass (only Johnson this year). No home field advantage. Best wishes in Ft. Worth!

Does Utah even have a chance in this game? I just don't see how Utah can beat such a powerful TCU team. Utah doesn't have much of a passing game (though Wynn has sparked some improvement), and it relies so heavily on Wide (that's why he's always getting 100+ yards - he gets the ball every play).

Objectively, Utah doesn't stand a chance. TCU will shut down Wide, and Utah will have to rely more on its slightly-better-than-mediocre passing game, which TCU will just eat up.

Good luck Utes. A Utah loss is very likely, but here's one that wouldn't mind seeing TCU dominate in a BCS bowl and get good credibility for our conference. Who knows, maybe even a National Championship?

Good luck to the MWC! Go Cougars, Go Utes, and Go TCU!

Do you not think the BYU Utah game will have anything to do with the title if Utes do beat TCU?

So much hate on this beautiful morning!!! Utes may lose if TCU is better but they won't roll over. That's all I ask. Go Utes!!!!!!!!!!!!

the utes are one of the great things about amerika. they pursue freedom and democracy and football dominance. you know they will show up and play, not slink away because tcu is too athletic and too fast. if they lose there won't be excuse mongering as to why they lost, but heartfelt congratulations to tcu.

yes indeed, the utes are what college football is all about!!
