Utes vs. Huskies official thread

[LA Ute]

Ouch. Didn't see that coming. I DVR'd the 2nd half but don't think I'll watch it. At halftime I was feeling pretty good, but the wheels obviously came off pretty badly. Oh, well. We got beat by the better team tonight. I hope Wynn can bounce back. He was looking very good in the 1st half.

-Utah's safeties are not very good. Their angles are bad, their tackling is inconsistent, and they're ok in pass coverage.

-We're not good enough to get trounced on special teams. In fact, we have to win special teams to be successful. Fumbling the opening kickoff killed us.

-Credit to Washington. Chris Polk is the best RB in the P12; they didn't make any mistakes; Price managed the game well; their defensive line beat ours; and their overall defense has good ball skills. Also, their fans traveled well.

-Utah missed too many opportunities in the 2nd quarter. They were marching up and down, but not only did they fail to get touchdowns, they failed to get any points. The difference in talent and quality is too thin for Utah to stall inside the 10.

-Points before halftime are huge. It was huge for us against BYU, and it was huge for the Huskies.

We've got a lot of work to do, because ASU is better than UW.

Best in the Pac-12 is pretty high praise considering LaMichael James also plays there. But if it makes you feel better about your porous d-line and terrible linebackers go for it.

Are the BYU players not allowed to say no if asked to speak at a fireside?

Would you say no to Bronco?

Let me rephrase. Would you give up the opportunity to share your talents?

Of course they can say 'no'. And they can decline to take the sacrament. Either way it brings the scrutiny of the hco, and everybody else will assume somebody has been naughty again, and not just in a Vanilla cappuccino way.

They don't have to play Lamichael James or I doubt they'd be thinking that.

[Superdeluxe]

But they were projected to be in the bottom half weren't they? If not then point taken.

I believe they were picked to finish 3rd in the p12 north

At least they didn't quit when the offense kept turning the ball over.

Not only would I say no to Bronco, I would pat him on the head and tell him to run along.

My favorite word is no when it comes to being asked to speak, accept a calling, etc.

Ouch. 15 yard penalty.

[cougjunkie]

Yeah that might make it worse if they always take that bad of angles and miss that many tackles.

If I am being honest I think the D-line is probably slightly above average but the linebackers and safeties especially in run support are very poor.

Then they must not watch much college football either. Because LMJ is better and its not close. The rest of the country nad the Heisman voters agree with me.

[Scorcho]

aaaagggghhhhhhh!

6 Turnovers!

You are too kind. I'd laugh at him and walk away. I might even suggest that emotion is a part of football and shouldn't be ignored. Then I'd tell him that the Lord doesn't care about football.

In my younger days, I would have done what you would do. Age has mellowed me a bit.
