Is not indicative of how dominant Utah has been during this streak. Their tough D, burn the clock, ball control, keep it on the ground style just works. They grind us down. They control the game, even if the score doesnt look too bad. Imo, there is a massive gap between these two programs.

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.

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

Whitt doesnt blow anyone out. But he holds onto the ball and burns clock.

That is just simply not true.

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.

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