There’s a difference between having 5 deep WRs and...

5 deep good WRs. Utah has certainly not proven to have 5 deep good WRs. Frankly they haven’t proven to have 2 deep really good ones, or even 1 deep really good one.

Specifically based on head to head Utah match-ups

Until we win and win by more than a TD I won't predict double digit victory

monkeycowboy

I don’t even predict a win anymore.

I'm not even going to watch.

That's a change....

Yep. I don't like how I respond to the rivalry. So I'm going for a hike or to the movies that night. I'll DVR it.

Even though Utah played us without their NFL running back and starting QB?

The Dude Abides

5/13/19 6:13pm

Yep, even without

Heinz57

5/13/19 6:14pm

I guess it doesn’t matter. People on CB have predicted BYU wins for as long as I can remember. It’s not like there is

The Dude Abides

5/13/19 6:15pm

Does it matter who they have at RB? The offense is never out there killing

Lip Gallagher

5/13/19 6:34pm

I’d say it matters to have a more talented back in the game. Yes.

The Dude Abides

5/13/19 6:37pm

Just saying that's never really been the difference maker in the matchups.

Lip Gallagher

5/13/19 8:01pm

wasn't last year 8 pts?

BlueFrog

Let me ask you this...

FulhamUte

5/13/19 6:22pm

5 WRs deep? Did you suddenly get a ton of WR talent you didn’t have last year?

The Dude Abides

5/13/19 6:25pm

Covey, Jaylen Dixon, Solomon Peter Enis, Samson Nacua, Demari Simpkins, Brian Thompson, Derrick Vickers

I know who the receivers are. They haven’t done anything up to this point to say

WR will never be a position of strength with terrible QBs

puntersarepeople

5/13/19 7:26pm

Covey won’t play against byu

I'mBatman

5/13/19 7:30pm

Utah's DL is great but it's reasonable that BYU's OL can hold it's own against

pinolero

5/13/19 6:43pm

TEs vs linebackers is the big one

puntersarepeople

5/13/19 7:04pm

but lip gallagher says the rb doesn't matter?

BlueFrog

5/13/19 7:36pm

This is a very good question, I don’t know the utes well enough to say for sure

Pretorian

BYU is better on the Oline and TE and kicker.

lilpenny

5/14/19 9:21am

TE will be interesting. Fotheringham is a more complete TE than Bushman and will

Scratch

5/14/19 9:25am

it's hard to say with TE (or really any position)

chinngiskhaan

5/14/19 9:35am

Moroni is more complete than Bushman but that doesn’t mean he’s better

5/14/19 3:06pm

Utah has 2 guys who are almost certainly better than MLP; they both had better

Scratch

5/14/19 3:13pm

MLP played four games. Not hard to have more impressive stats

5/14/19 3:20pm

MLP's sophomore year, before a major injury, was in the same realm statistically

Scratch

5/14/19 3:26pm

MLP has improved a lot. That was his first year getting big minutes

puntersarepeople

5/14/19 3:30pm

How do you know how much he's improved when he's barely even seen the field?

Scratch

5/14/19 3:34pm

He improved over the course of his sophomore year for one

5/14/19 3:39pm

It won’t matter because the world is going to end on June 9

Medute

5/13/19 6:25pm

Nope. OAC moved that back 10-12 years (depending on the interview).

5/14/19 7:51am

Then I guess you can do the same thing with a BYU by 14 prediction

My take: Utah was asleep in the first half

mudpupper

5/13/19 6:31pm

I love how BYU is only ever capable of something against this amazing program

Lip Gallagher

5/13/19 6:35pm

The talent gap between the two teams is widening. To think otherwise is bit

mudpupper

5/13/19 6:57pm

Not many would argue that Utah isn’t the better program...

There might be a talent gap but before Utah uses a QB effectively their offense

It will be interesting to watch this year. Before Huntley and Moss got hurt,

It would be nice if they did it against better defenses consistently.

Lip Gallagher

5/13/19 7:46pm

He should be good to go.

Scratch

5/13/19 7:50pm

What was his injury again?

Lip Gallagher

5/13/19 7:51pm

Meniscus, so a less serious knee injury.

5/13/19 7:58pm

I hope you understand that three of those teams didn’t go bowling

Oh, I don’t think they’ll be scoring 40 ppg, just saying that before the

New OC and a new offensive line might make for a slow start

puntersarepeople

5/13/19 8:02pm

I agree completely, that’s a big concern. Although it’s not a completely new OL,

Utah always starts out slow...

Last time Utah started a season with a road game was 11 years ago.

So the only time recently Utah played well in game 1 was when they played a good

I get not showing all your cards, but last year, it took the offense 3.5 games to play well.

Since Utah’s offense is never great...

This is a myth!!

It isn't a myth, but the talent gap isn't enormous. The depth gap, however is substantial. Nevertheless, in Week 1,
