Yes, he's excellent. But the rest of them are terrible.

Is Utah better than the 5-loss team they were last year?

scootsy First name: Tom; Last: Foolery

8/13/19 1:52pm

Utah doesn't have any quality WRs

Richbyu

8/13/19 1:54pm

Compared to whom?

displacedute

8/13/19 1:55pm

They are at the bottom of the PAC12 in WR talent. Average to mediocre.

Richbyu

8/13/19 1:58pm

I'd still trade them straight up.

mudpupper

8/13/19 2:10pm

I'd put us in the bottom third, but at the top part of that.

displacedute

8/13/19 2:14pm

I will say that Covey is a game changer. But I'm assuming he's out for a while

Richbyu

8/13/19 2:16pm

I'm hoping a healthy Bryan Thompson is that guy.

displacedute

8/13/19 2:24pm

Cu has one of the top wideouts in the country

BYU '80

8/13/19 5:13pm

Yes, he's excellent. But the rest of them are terrible.

displacedute

8/13/19 5:17pm

I wouldn't put Utah ahead of Oregon State. Nobody at Utah is anywhere close

Lip Gallagher

8/13/19 5:43pm

Are they?

cougarmanguy

8/13/19 2:00pm

What is their drop rate?

displacedute

8/13/19 2:11pm

I’ll find the article. Posted a few days ago suggesting

cougarmanguy

8/13/19 2:12pm

Uh oh, the Ute thumb troll who can't talk is out on patrol

Lip Gallagher

8/13/19 7:18pm

He loves me and knows I’m right

cougarmanguy

8/13/19 7:41pm

Here: utah’s Receivers had a ten percent drop rate last year. Staggering

cougarmanguy

8/13/19 7:44pm

That seems high, but 3 of the other 4 teams on that list were over 8

displacedute

8/13/19 9:45pm

It is very high. That is why they were highlighting that as qb's who could make a jump

cougarmanguy

8/13/19 9:58pm

Last year was a rebuilding year for the entire Pack 12 South.

BlueBeliever

8/13/19 6:34pm

ASU, CU, and Zona should all be worse.

displacedute

8/13/19 6:38pm

They are at least 5 wins better. Probably 7.

CougsBeatU

8/13/19 1:54pm

Yes.

displacedute

8/13/19 1:55pm

better w/o Covey?

crimedog

8/13/19 1:58pm

Yes, not sure I understand

cougarmanguy

8/13/19 1:58pm

and with a new OC?

JKLCoug

8/13/19 1:59pm

Covey's not going to be out all season.

displacedute

8/13/19 2:14pm

He wont make much of an impact this season

Backcountry

8/13/19 2:41pm

I'll count Covey out never.

displacedute

8/13/19 3:32pm

Other than moss, what nfl talent do you have on offense?

cougarmanguy

8/13/19 1:59pm

Sure NFL talent? None.

displacedute

8/13/19 2:20pm

Sure NFL talent? None. But probably still the entire offensive 3-deep. lol

Lip Gallagher

8/13/19 4:31pm

Utah gets WR’s to the NFL.

BrobaFett

8/13/19 9:33pm

lol every team has a list full of undrafted practice squad guys who

Lip Gallagher

8/13/19 9:37pm

What WR’s from BYU did what Dre Anderson did?

BrobaFett

8/14/19 12:12am

Sorry but what exactly did he "do?"

Lip Gallagher

8/14/19 7:40pm

LOL. Covey is not playing I'm the NFL. He'd get killed

SUAVO

8/14/19 7:36am

Is Moss playing against BYU, even with an injured hand?

Heinz57

8/13/19 2:01pm

Huntley and Moss both played in the losses to UW, Wazzou, and ASU. Theres got to be more to it than just getting healthy

scootsy

8/13/19 2:06pm

In huntley’s Case, poorly against all three. I mean, really bad

cougarmanguy

8/13/19 2:09pm

Both were injured during the ASU game.

displacedute

8/13/19 2:15pm

They were injured during the game yes, but played a lot

cougarmanguy

8/13/19 2:17pm

Huntley had a bad game.

displacedute

8/13/19 2:22pm

True. He did well

cougarmanguy

8/13/19 2:23pm

The secondary will be better with two nfl guys gone?

BYU '80

8/13/19 5:15pm

Practically speaking, they haven’t made significant changes from a ho-hum offensive line

cougarmanguy

8/13/19 1:57pm

This is a fair assessment. I think a lot of the offense is getting looked over

kos

8/13/19 2:08pm

One small quibble. A broken collarbone is not a major injury.

Dwight Schr-UTE

8/13/19 3:22pm

If Huntley and Moss stay healthy they'll be better. If not, they won't.

rcbyufan

8/13/19 1:59pm

They have to replace their four leading tacklers on defense,

Left Shark Coug

8/13/19 2:07pm

And 2 sack leaders. For all the DL hype, their 2 LBs led is sacks. They still gotta blitz to pressure.

Turnpike Lane

8/13/19 2:19pm

Anae, the DE who is back, not only led the team in sacks, he led the P12 in

Scratch

8/13/19 2:22pm

Thats just not true Anae lead the team in sacks

kolt7

8/13/19 2:27pm

OK, #2 and #3 are gone. Both LBs. Still huge impact and need to blitz.

Turnpike Lane

8/13/19 2:42pm

Even if you take away the LB sacks, Utah was still smack in the middle of the

Scratch

8/13/19 2:59pm

Are you talking total sacks? Cuz utah played 1 more game than many and 2 more

SUAVO

8/13/19 8:57pm

Their defense will be fierce. If Moss and Huntley get injured early,

Interesting how BYU fans make so much of how close the rivalry games

Florwood

Utah has a significantly easier schedule this year too. @BYU is arguably your

rcbyufan

And this is different than every other rivalry fanbase how?

Refugee

ASU was one play away?

BYU '80

8/13/19 5:15pm

Yeah, the freak pick that bounced off a Utah WR's chest right into an ASU player

displacedute

8/13/19 5:20pm

Ok. So BYU was 1 play away from annihilating Utah. Seems reasonable.

rcbyufan

8/13/19 5:22pm

That's what I've been hearing on this board for MONTHS.

displacedute

8/13/19 5:32pm

Years.

TFL

8/13/19 5:52pm

Dixon catches that. TH stays healthy. Utah probably wins.

TFL

8/13/19 5:52pm

How do you know Huntley stays healthy?

BYU '80

8/13/19 6:30pm

I think those were "if" sentences.

displacedute

8/13/19 6:39pm

that's like BYU's 2016 season. 8 pts away from perfect

icecougar

8/13/19 6:24pm

Also 11 points from not bowl eligible.

displacedute

8/13/19 6:29pm

Not sure. Seems like the hype got popular then has gotten out of control...

Yes. They're better.

Et Lux in Domino

8/13/19 6:38pm

That team sounds identical to last years team. I guess that was the only point I was making.

scootsy

8/13/19 7:15pm

I suppose we'll find out in two weeks, two days, and about an hour.

Utah was a 3 loss team. The improvement needs to be based off those 3 losses
