The Holy War Returns - BYU vs. Utah 2024

[Pelado]

I started off the two weeks leading up to the Holy War by watching the 2021 game today. Good stuff!

Good idea!

[Omaha 680]

BYU -4.5.

Last time we were favored against utah was 2013.
Last time we were favored and won was 2009.
Last time we were favored and covered the spread was 2007.

I expect to do what we have been doing all year and demolish the spread.

Saddle Up, Lock and Load!

Sounds like Money Parks is out for the rest of the season. Utah down to three weapons and a brutal end of season schedule. Makes me wonder if some of the NFL guys on that team will want to shut it down.

I think Bernard should start preparing himself for the combine. That would be a good idea for him.

Jokes aside, it would definitely cross my mind. Being the most obvious weapon to shut down on a team having trouble moving the ball is probably not great for the body.

Of course it's a consideration in the modern era and I have thought about it. I don't think any of these guys will quit before the rivalry game. But if BYU wins I think guys like Bernard and Kuithe will shut it down.

They're still in contention for bowl eligibility, right?

Remaining opponents:

BYU (ranked)
Iowa State (ranked)
Colorado (ranked)
UCF (unranked)

They need 2 wins. Definitely doable, but not a sure thing by any means given the way they have been playing against lousy teams.

Ha, the two top teams in the conference (both undefeated currently) plus 4th place Colorado - which is also a HUGE RIVALVRY game for the Utes. Maybe the biggest.

Good luck Utes. And by that, I mean ESAD.

Their best chance seems like a rivalry win (always close and it is at home) and a UCF win. I think Iowa State and Colorado will be ugly.

I'll say it: there is a better chance that Utah finishes this season with 8 straight losses than they get bowl eligible. The most likely scenario is one more win.

Uncle Ted endorses this message.

I would agree they most likely win just one more but ideally they don’t win any more.

With the exception of Oregon & Colorado the PAC 12 refugees have been doing rather poorly in their new conferences. Why is that?

I'm pretty sure the team has already shut it down.

This is cool. It seems like there's a media house in Utah that specializes in showing people with political or other disagreements standing in front of a white screen engaging in good natured trash talk for some cause.
