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

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.

Is this a real question?

cougarnerd

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

I'd be very confident If I were (heaven forbid) a ute fan.

Stupid that I ask if a fan of a team that has 8 straight wins

dissect those wins for me in detail, then get back to me.

How many minutes has BYU lead since 2010?

That is just simply not true.

I will answer my own question

You’ve dissected them so much that you’ve forgotten we’ve lost 8 straight

Because they have had a boat load of luck

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

ataylor

8/16/19 3:02pm

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

BYU has beaten Utah just seven of the last 25 meetings:

Exactly. BYU beat Utah, and ended up ranked the years you listed. Except for

shakarocks

3-13 over the last 16 is not luck.

Exactly

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

11 and 08 were blowouts. And like ive mentioned elsewhere, the close final score

2004 and 2008 were special (undefeated) seasons for the Utes. In 2011, BYU just went into meltdown mode, and Utah

Adrielle

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

Et Lux in Domino

What did they learn the hard way? They won.

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

If I was a Ute fan, I’d be feeling just fine.

Y4LYFE

Yes. They were all very close except 1.

Average margin of victory- 9.625 points.

Et Lux in Domino

8/16/19 9:05pm

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

ataylor

8/16/19 9:13pm

Fine... Avg margin of victory, -2011, is 4.714285714285714285714285714. Not as easy to remember, is it?

That’s a clown question. Of course they all are. Utah should beat BYU handily

BYU’s got this one in the bag. All that’s left is 60 minutes following kick-off
