    I'm not quite sure where to put my expectations for this team this year. Camp not going great but maybe that's a good thing. I'm kind of sick of all the usual rosey nonsense that comes out of fall camp down there.

    Until I have reason to believe otherwise, I am reserved to be content with an 8-4 season. Its all I can do to keep zen. I hope the team is truly hungry though. Stuff like this should be posted all over the locker room:

    Utah: Schedule Breakdown ...
    It's a breeze (easiest stretch): Aug. 30 through Sept. 15 – Northern Colorado, at Utah State, BYU.
    If there were issues with Utah's offensive confidence coming into the season, games against the Bears, the Aggies and the Cougars should provide a big boost. Utah crushed BYU 54-10 last season. BYU beat Utah State. Northern Colorado went 0-11 in the Big Sky Conference. 'Nuff said.

      Anybody who takes last years game as a good barometer of what will happen this year is unfamiliar with both the rivalry and with what happened in that game.

        Not only that, but I'd say Utah stands a better than average chance of going 1-2 during that stretch.

          What do you consider an average chance?
          "The first thing I learned upon becoming a head coach after fifteen years as an assistant was the enormous difference between making a suggestion and making a decision."

          "They talk about the economy this year. Hey, my hairline is in recession, my waistline is in inflation. Altogether, I'm in a depression."

            There is a better than average chance that Utah will lose to BOTH Utah State and BYU? Because there is almost no chance they lose to Northern Colorado.

              I'd say it was average if they weren't completely overlooking both BYU and Utah State. But if they are,

                I'd bet the author of that article, Craig Morgan, is quite unfamiliar with both what happened in that game and the rivalry.

                I also doubt he represents the views of the Utah coaching staff or players.

                  Still wondering what you consider average odds that Utah will be 0-2 vs USU and BYU.

                      I bet you are. Why would you lie about this?

                            That seems about the best you can hope for.
