injured players away, from being in the tank. What would happen, if their best two offensive players were gone? Not to mention, their top 3 RB's, QB and a starting tackle. Then, add to that, missing your best two defensive players and a couple more DB's to boot. What would the Utes look like, without Orchard? Without Booker? Without Anderson?

Just a little perspective, this team is a patchwork team the Cougs are working with. Many are young. Yes, we should have beat Nevada. BUT - with all the talk about how great the Utes are and how bad the Cougs are, just remember, it was the Utes who sat home each of the past two years, wondering if their head coach was going to be fired. Now, everyone on this board, is ready to anoint Whit the best thing since sliced bread. Whatever. Bronco and his staff have been handed a hard deck to play with. NO WAY the Utes are even competing down 9 starters. And the best two players on each side of the ball, lumped in with that group.

For all the "Utes are great" and "we stink" talk - keep things in perspective. Bronco will right the ship. He has been upstanding and done things the right way. He may have brought us as far as he can, but missing 9 starters, Alabama, Florida State, Oregon, you name the team, would be struggling too.
