Utah Utes football: U. and TCU field outstanding defenses
14 comments | Read story
The Utes will have their hands full but you can't count them out. Kyle gets his teams up for the big games - he has proved that over the years.
TCU does look unbeatable - but so did Alabama last year. I think the Ute defense will be the toughest they have played to date. If we can get a couple of turnovers, anything can happen.
I hope Wide can put up some yards too - that will be critical to Wynn's success.
Either way, it should be a great game and I can't believe that ESPN is featuring another MWC game 3 this year is unbelieveable.
Go Utes!!!
We have the BEST Coaches " " " "
We have the BEST Fans " " " "
We have the BEST Game Plan " " "
We have the BEST Statium " " "
We have the BEST Record over 3 years "
We have the BEST Need I say More????
Southern Girl!!!!!!!!!!!!
NOTHING!
but, since that's not going to happen, no worries; BYU fans will have plenty to say.
Utah fans have two options:
Utah loses by the expected blowout, in which case, what Utah fans will have to say is
NOTHING!
or,
Utah keeps the game closer than expected, in which case, what Utah fans will have to say is
"We didn't get beaten as badly as BYU."
as if that really makes any difference
Haven't we heard all season long that a win is a win, no matter how close.
and therefore, a loss is still a loss.
After Saturday:
BYU 8-2, 5-1 MWC, #20
Utah 8-2, 5-1 MWC #25
Except for hurting the MWC's AQ chances in 2012 and giving BYU a chance to win a piece of their 3 MWC championship in 4 years, the outcome of the Utah-TCU matchup really doesn't matter for BYU fans. There are pluses and minuses to either outcome.
Regardless of what happens Saturday, bragging rights will once again, as always, depend on the BYU-Utah game on November 28th.
You go, Southern Girl!!!
...you should watch the tape of TCU-Utah game and learn how to build a good team.
Ute Defensive leaders
Robert Johnson = Senior
Koa Misi = Senior
Mike Wright = Senior
Stevenson Slyvester = Senior
A blowout game makes a major difference:
1. In the polls
2. To fans which BYU fans know all about

I guess you slept through the Oregon vs Utah and Oregon vs. USC games. Only reason Utah was the game was because of Utah's defense. Even though I felt that was a horrible game on both sides of the ball.

And TCU's offense will be slowed down for the first time this season against a MWC opponent. 20 point spread? A joke...neither team will score more than 24 points this game.
A TCU win is more likely, but I really like Utah if RoJo can have a big game against TCU's new airgame.
