Don’t be surprised to see Tonga at DE in some passing situations vs Utah...

...especially if we’re not getting much pressure from Dawe or Kaufusi and KS finds himself needing to bring more pressure but doesn’t want to bring extra guys to do it. There’s not much most tackles will be able to do stopping a bull rush on the edge from Tonga.

Which BYU players would be starting for Utah?

MikeDitka'sStache

Wilson as a true freshman had better ratings than Huntley as a junior,

8/16/19 4:06pm

I doubt Wilson would be starting this season for them. He's good but experience

MikeDitka'sStache

8/16/19 4:08pm

What has Huntley done to cement himself as the starter?

I can see how beating up on bad teams that couldn't even get bowl eligible would be very impressive.

slatecoug

8/19/19 11:59pm

Of course you would, it's why you guys love Wilson so much.

8/20/19 7:26am

yes because it is so easy to go 18 for 18 in any game

slatecoug

8/20/19 1:52pm

Against the #111 team in ESPN defensive efficiency?

8/20/19 2:05pm

The only reason I'm not certain Wilson would be the "unquestioned starter" next year is

Et Lux in Domino

8/17/19 12:09am

Idk if Wilson would start, but he’ll prove he’s clearly the better QB this year

Odysseus

8/16/19 4:11pm

Here's what I'd guess

8/16/19 4:12pm

Taking experience over talent is something I've never really believed in,

SandYFan

8/16/19 4:15pm

I like SR Huntley more than SO Wilson.

8/16/19 4:16pm

Yeah. I guess we'll see how they each perform this season.

SandYFan

8/16/19 4:17pm

I understand that thinking prior to the start of the season...

icecougar

8/16/19 6:16pm

I agree with that for the most part. Tonga would start on your DL though.

The Dude Abides

8/16/19 4:19pm

No he wouldn't. Penisini and Fotu are both NFL draft picks.

8/16/19 4:20pm

Tonga is too. Not sure how high though

Backcountry

8/16/19 4:21pm

I like Tonga, I think he's a very good DL.

8/16/19 4:25pm

Thats fair

Backcountry

8/16/19 4:28pm

Tonga will be leaving early to the NFL. He’s at least the same level talent as Penisini and Fotu.

The Dude Abides

8/16/19 4:28pm

He might be. That puts him #3 at Utah.

8/16/19 4:48pm

Based on what other than bias? If they were flipped you'd still choose your own

8/16/19 5:53pm

Tonga would start. He may not be better than Fotu, but he is better than Penisini.

8/16/19 8:30pm

Starting is for high school

I assumed Dayan at safety, should have said that before.

MikeDitka'sStache

8/16/19 4:20pm

I think Utah's OL is more talented than BYU's except for Empey.

This is going to embarrassing if you guys lose. Choke job of epic proportions.

rcbyufan

8/16/19 4:31pm

It will be embarassing. Utah should be the better team, we're favored by 5.

8/16/19 4:50pm

This is almost as bad of a take as the guy who said "Utah puts WRs in the NFL"

Because Wilson and Bushman have the potential to be the two biggest stars in the

Hoge would start at Utah. No doubt.

CMuehle

8/16/19 4:32pm

Well except Whitt likes to slow the game down and just do barely enough

SandYFan

8/16/19 4:33pm

It's the Utah-BYU game, so I'll say 24-15. It's going to be close, it always is.

8/16/19 4:51pm

That's close? That's a bigger margin than most of the recent rivalry games.

Benfica1

8/16/19 5:44pm

I'm surprised you think Utah will only score 15. No faith in Ludwig, huh?

LiveCoug

8/16/19 5:55pm

I think you underestimate how good guys like Hoge and Brady Christensen are.

8/16/19 8:37pm

And how much better they might be

8/16/19 11:30pm

Bushman. Maybe an O-lineman. 2 max.

Glad to see the Utah fan that tries to act like he is a BYU fan has chimed in.

Hey Bengal. Thanks for your contribution to this thread.

BYU actually has far fewer question marks at open spots than Utah does.

People focus way too much on the individual players on the OL.

What have uu receivers done that you think it isn't close. Covey, yes....

Benfica1

From what Ive heard, their kickers are struggling at 35 yards, so 2 of our kickers could start there.

Romney wasn't the best HS receiver in Arizona his SR year.
