  • What are Utah's worst losses in the Whit era?

    I admittedly don't follow Utah football very closely (kind of like SU, but I'm honest about it). Was UNLV the last, and perhaps only, time Whit has lost by more than 21? Even when he seemingly has the inferior team (vs BYU 06, 07) the defense usually keeps the game close. I think the line against TCU tomorrow is too high. I'm not a betting man but if a I was I would feel pretty confident taking Utah +20 and the under (47).

    I seem to recall a BSU blowout a few years ago, but I don't follow them closely either.

      Bsu in 06 was bad
      Wyo in 06 was bad
      Unlv in 07 was really bad

        The Boise State ass kicking was in '06 and was a larger margin (36-3) than the UNLV embarrassment of '07 (27-0). The UNLV was a worse loss because of how poorly Utah played against a really lousy team. That BSU team was a helluva team. Of course, I tend to give BSU a lot more credit for how good they are than most of my fellow Ute fans.

          So would BSU be the only example of Utah getting blown out in a big game with Kyle at the helm? I just looked it up, Utah was favored by 5 in the game. I'm glad BYU never has games like that...TCU, FSU, Utah...

            I guess it depends on the definition of blowout. My definition is any loss that is 3 TD or more.

            BSU 36-3 ('06)
            UNLV 27-0 ('07)
            UCLA 31-10 ('06)

            These are the three losses in Kyle's time as head coach that I would call blowouts.

            Edit - I just noticed you said big game. So yes, that's the only loss like that for KW.

              I sat in the MUSS for that BSU game. It helped ease the pain of the BYU drubbing at the hands of the Broncos. Ludwig's name was mud that day...or was it shit?
