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.

Boy I hope UMich just comes out and kicks em in the teeth.

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

I think Michigan wins by 3

Well they are ignorant. We aren't winning a NC this year.

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

ManicBlue

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

SUAVO

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

bulletproof

8/31/15 2:12pm

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

chago04

8/31/15 2:24pm

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

SUAVO

It all falls on Michigan being able to establish a RB

chago04

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

"the game was still close until the rain delay" Neither team scored after

Ute in DC

I was there and actually felt that the rain delay kept that game from getting

Virginia Ute

Yup. Utah had controlled the 2nd half until the delay. Then the offense

The Harbaugh factor is what has me scared.

Virginia Ute

8/31/15 2:16pm

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

chago04

8/31/15 2:26pm

Both teams have a well below-average offense.

Virginia Ute

8/31/15 2:30pm

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.

Agreed

I hope Michigan crushes them and we crush Michigan .

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