lost all momentum over their two remaining possessions. Andy Phillips missed a 41-yard field goal, which is not easy, and was made more difficult by coming out cold after a 2+ hour delay, with strong crosswinds, on a field with standing water.

I think the Utes will be in for a shock against Michigan.

I don't think I've seen a group of fans so confident.

I hope Michigan comes out and licks the frosting right off 'em.

Is there a face that portrays skepticism leaning towards laughing?

Actually it reminds me of the confidence from 2014 BYU football fans

Michigan is more talented and has better coaches

No they aren't. Not this year anyway.

Michigan's QB play shouldn't be subpar at all

Utah wins easily. Michigan was awful last year and they arent going to be that

Michigan beat Utah in nearly every statistical category last year

That sounds a lot like BYU games vs Utah...

I always use BYU stats when comparing other teams to eachother

Here's your problem, Michigan might not score a touchdown all night.

Weird, they didn't lose Butt. They lose a lot with Funchess but return

They did have 20th best Red Zone % last year, the issue will

It all falls on Michigan being able to establish a RB

Michigan fans left in droves because the game was getting bleak for them.

It's the Harbaugh factor. He beat USC as a 40 pt dog his first year at Stanford,

Byron McNertney

The Harbaugh factor is what has me scared.

Virginia Ute

I think itll take a couple years to get back but I also think Utah has a below

chago04

Both teams have a well below-average offense.

Virginia Ute

RES is a tough place to play but I also think that's where coaching comes in.

chago04

8/31/15 2:34pm

Exactly right. He is one of the best coaches in all of football.

Kyle does pretty well in openers against FBS teams too.

They did have the 15th best rush defense last year and 19th best pass defense

Most Ute games will be tossups. The D is that good and O is that bad.

A lot of wishful thinking by BYU fans...hoping Utah doesn't keep distancing....
