Utah was always going to have a breakthrough season somewhere along the road.
Looks like they'll win 9 or 10 games this year. Thing is, that's pretty much their peak. A once-in-a-generation team might get to the Rose Bowl, but otherwise this is the best it gets for most P5 teams.
The contrast really is amazing, though. Our program looks more and more like a circus every passing week, while Utah plays exactly the kind of football our chief clown says he coaches.
