Portland Ute All-American

I was rushing between patients and misread your statement.

I thought you were saying that nobody returning had experience.

You are right.

Very little experience.

I've already publicly stated my guarantee that BYU will beat Utah this year, but

Three of our WRs run sub 4.4s

None of your WR run sub 4.4s.

He meant when timed with Ute stopwatches. Those always shave off a little time.

Yeah I think Kalani and co learned some things about 40 timing from the U

I rewatched the 2016 game again and was impressed with Troy Williams

He got worse as the season wore on, and there's a reason for that:

Left Shark Coug

I'm not going to discount that was a factor in his regression.

This sounds so familiar to a rant I heard at UDA leadership.

Portland Ute

Lackluster? Oh come on buddy, at least do a little research.

Rise Against

7/31/17 2:25pm

I agree that BYU's receivers are as untested as Utah's secondary.

Y'zFan

Coould be Carrington

BrutustheBrash

7/31/17 3:01pm

Utah returns over 1000 receiving yards if we include the TEs.

displacedute

7/31/17 3:29pm

True, but who are those receivers going up against? That's the entire point

Rise Against

7/31/17 3:37pm

Zero experience is absolutely false.

Portland Ute

7/31/17 3:41pm

You do realize that we have our own fair share of 4* players in our secondary?

Rise Against

7/31/17 3:45pm

I'd take Troy Warner.

Portland Ute

7/31/17 3:59pm

Also, name the "fair share of 4* guys" in your secondary

Portland Ute

7/31/17 4:09pm

We have 3 just in our secondary. See post below. SMH.

Rise Against

7/31/17 4:15pm

Okay. Your defensive backs are more talented than Utah's.

Portland Ute

7/31/17 4:23pm

Oh, and Mangum is clearly much better than Troy Williams.

Portland Ute

7/31/17 4:27pm

The WR edge is to Utah by a wide margin.

displacedute

Assuming Carrington can stay out of jail....

wilsdad

7/31/17 4:57pm

We only have to keep him clean for 6 weeks for it to matter in this game.

That's funny....

Trinnaman only had 1 TD vs the back end of BYU's schedule?

With Hansen out, that's 8 of 8.

Do you know something nobody else knows about Chase Hansen?

Hansen, even on the short end of 4 weeks, that means that he comes back ready to

How is that wrong? Ballard is a transfer and has zero experience at Utah.

I give you guys the edge in terms of talent and demonstrated coaching.

Man, I'm still laughing at you. Who knew Utah was so loaded with 5* guys
