Utah-Air Force

[Surfah]

Nice road win. Effin' utes.

Yup. A win is a win. Now if TCU takes care of business like they should tonight we get the showdown at RES in what will be the biggest MWC game ever.

[smokymountainrain]

Yes, I agree. TCU is probably better than Utah. But, Utah will win. Bank on it.

Yep. It matters where the game is played.

It will be a fun atmosphere. Looking forward to it.

How sweet would it have been from the AFA perspective to beat both BYU and Utah in the last league meeting?

I think Utah's defense (strong d-line, strong d-backs, weak linebackers) will be better suited to slowing down TCU than they were to stopping AFA.

Utah beats TCU by 5.

[BoylenOver]

That's Air Force. Plain and simple. We haven't had an easy win against them since '99.

Maybe I'm being a homer, but there's nothing you can extrapolate from that game. TCU won't run wishbone against us. They'll be the best team we play this season without question, for sure.

Bring on GameDay; bring on a match-up between two top-6 teams (and non-AQ, no less); bring on the Frogs.

I totally agree with this. You need great linebacker play to slow down Air Force. They won't have to depend on them next week like they did tonight. I wish I thought Utah beats TCU by 5. Utah is much better than they were last year and TCU IMO isn't as good as they were last year. It should be a good game next week.

Eddie Wide III has a bit of an apologetic running style. I understand he's more of a finess back, but I would prefer to have someone like Asiata or Shakerin in there to pound it inbetween the tackles when you're trying to pick up a few first downs to end the game.

It was a typical Utah/Air Force game. The Utes benefited down the stretch from Jefferson getting frustrated and trying to do everything himself.

Utah needed to play to win a little bit more there in the 4th quarter and really throughout the game. I thought that they were trying to kill the clock from the minute the game started. More of a "let's just get through this." It's a football game, not a proctology exam fellas. Play to win!

You could tell in the post-game that Kyle was frustrated with the team as though they didn't believe him that Air Force was mentally tough and would hang in there for 60 minutes.

On to TCU. Should be epic!

PS Utah is also lucky to have TCU at home this year.

Really? Is that luck? I had always been led to believe, perhaps mistakenly, that conference teams alternated between home venues from year to year.

Yeah Wynn didn't look great. I love your d-line.

My confidence in Wynn was shaken tonight. That pick was simply astonishing - I couldn't believe my eyes. ('Did he really throw that?") On hte TD he underthrew a wide-open receiver just enough to make the play interesting. I don't know about Jordan. But Brian Johnson made me nervous too when he was a sophomore.

it wasn't shaken after the Wyoming game?

[Portland Ute]

?? if anything this games point to TCU being better than Utah.

Go do the comparitive scores thing last year for Utah and TCU against AFA when TCU played AFA in Colorado Springs.

Comparitive scores mean very little most of the time.

Did you see Heaps pick 6 last week? It was worse.

Did you see Heaps pick 6 last week? It was worse.

Yes it was. That was probably one of the worst passes I have ever seen in college football.

That pick was a replay of the picks against WYO.

I'm unconvinced that he is a great QB.

I think he's pretty average and has a great O-line and some fantastic athletes around him.

I also think he might be hurt. He threw some screen passes to the sideline that took FOREVER to get there. The time it took to get ot the receiver was counted in days, not seconds.

I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Now he scares me.
