Utah has a great defense, what people often forget is that it’s not Utah’s D

Versus BYU’s D, it’s BYU’s O versus Utah’s D. I think BYU’s O has enough talent to beat Utah’s D.

Utah with a new OC has plenty of question marks to struggle against BYU’s D.

I think BYU can win this one.—

How do you figure? Utah does have more talent they will have a lot of people

Zigzag21

7/13/19 6:36pm

Talent is pretty subjective, so your statement about Utah having more talent

basman

7/13/19 7:13pm

Then how do you determine talent

Zigzag21

7/13/19 7:17pm

Gimme a break. Talk to a recruiter about who has more talent.

Lets revisit this conversation of who has more talent around week 4 or 5. Eh???

How bout after week 1 eh?

That too eh? Or you could just look at the last 8-9 years eh?

Why don’t you address my valid point, that BYU keeps losing

"The disparity in depth is drastic."

If that were the case all 8 of those losses to Utah would have been along the line of 54-10.

It's definitely Utah. Next year, and maybe the year after, it will be BYU.

If I take the blue goggles off, the answer is Utah.

Too close to call and too many unknowns to really speculate on each's "best".

Robbinoburrito

I think when considering each's best the issue lies in the potential.

Good take!

Robbinoburrito

7/13/19 7:42pm

How is this different than asking which team is more talented?

Maybe it isn't. But I was thinking against each other not in a vacuum.

This is correct.

Better athletes doesn’t mean a better TEAM. Especially in this rivalry.

Their ceiling MIGHT be different with a "new" coach so their best might be less
