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

Bushman has stud written all over him. The dude could have 1000 yards this year. We also have multiple tight ends that can play well vs Utah’s one

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

I don’t even predict a win anymore.

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

Yep, even without

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

wasn't last year 8 pts?

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

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

CoachSpeak

WR will never be a position of strength with terrible QBs

Covey won’t play against byu

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?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

He improved over the course of his sophomore year for one

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

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

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

My take: Utah was asleep in the first half

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

Lip Gallagher

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

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

He should be good to go.

What was his injury again?

Lip Gallagher

5/13/19 7:51pm

Meniscus, so a less serious knee injury.

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

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

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

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

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...

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