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

TFL

Around here TH means Tom Holmoe.

Florwood

8/13/19 3:15pm

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

rcbyufan

8/13/19 3:16pm

And this is different than every other rivalry fanbase how?

Refugee

8/13/19 4:11pm

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

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...

8/13/19 6:17pm

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
