      I think it is a slim chance. The Utes would have to get their offense working and I am not sure that's going to happen in time.

      BTW, I hear that Greg Wrubell said BYU would win out. Maybe he's jinxed the Cougars. Hope so.

          Ya think Utah will give TCU a better game than BYU; at TCU? I agree. No one can perform worse. EVERY team TCU has played to date has scored more points than BYU (except CSU by 1 point).

            Can Utah get motivated and 'up' for the game? Apparently BYU can't.

              Utah's FG defense? YOu mean like the kicker missing left a couple of times?

                If a kicker doesn't do his job, that's the same as a lineman missing a block or a receiver dropping a pass. It was TCU's job to have a kicker who could make fields goals. they had a freshman who choked, thus exposing a weakness in that team. Way back, it was Utah's job to have a kicker (named Kaneshiro or not) who could win a game with a chip shot field goal. They didn't, and BYU won that game as a result. There are no gifts in football, only people who don't make plays when they should.

                      Neither does any team that is not in a BCS conference. So you really didn't say much.

                        TCU's a legit top-10 team, and we aren't. It's a long-shot.

                              Don't you know about Utah's secret FG defense?

                              Well, I'm afraid I can't tell you then. After all, it is secret.

                                Here is my prediction: If Utah wins, they were a lock to win all along. If they lose, they had no chance of winning.
