I am normally more conservative than the consensus in predicting Utah's seasons...

and I probably am this year too. I expect a couple of slip ups but think the Pac-12 title game is the goal. That being said, I do not expect the BYU game to be a loss for Utah. Full strength team, plenty of prep, and a team that remembers what happens when you start too slow against the Cougars. I think Utah covers the spread.

Didn't they learn that when you start too slow against BYU, you can still come

I agree. It will end, potentially next year. But I expect the Ute win to be comfortable this season.

yes. And it is stupid that you ask....

Look at their record against BYU over the last quarter century and tell me

I would argue it is often the inverse. If BYU beats Utah, BYU gets ranked top 25

3-13 over the last 16 is not luck.

There shouldn't be a confident fan on either side. It will be close as usual.

Yes, but Utah learned (the hard way) that they can't take ANYTHING for granted, vs. BYU, last year. BYU isn't playing

BYU will always find a way to lose the game. Taysom's failed 2 point conversion.

A score like 54-10 will do that to a small sample size.
