2013 College Football Season

[Flystripper]

Looks like something you or Flystripper would have posted.

Nope. We will have lots of opportunities for upsets on the road.

What's so controversial about the statement? BYU does have at least a couple of big names scheduled every year, but its a crap shoot as to how good these big names will be. Utah is in the PAC-12 and will play the good teams in the conference. On average, they will play more ranked teams than BYU. Why wouldn't KWhit use that as a recruiting pitch?

It's every bit as much of a crap shoot which, if any, teams in the PAC 12 are ranked, correct? Stanford and Oregon could have stumbled early and suddenly Utah has a lukewarm schedule. Texas and Notre Dame and Wisconsin could just as easily have been world beaters this year and we'd have the opportunity to be king. That's how the entire NCAA field is set up, in fact.

As a matter of fact, I like next year's schedule, too! Texas, Southern Miss, Cal, Virginia, Boise, Nevada, Houston, Connecticut, Central Florida, Utah State and a couple of cupcakes? Nice! I like playing a diverse field of teams every year- it's cool! It's not the same as the MWC/WAC days where you have a history with every school on the schedule, but it's fun and makes for a LOT more incentive to do roadies, too.

The point is: although we are not in the Pac, we have ample opportunity to upset teams like this, contrary to your assertion.

Also, that's a pretty big recruiting pitch for Utah going forward. They are in the PAC and have an opportunity to upset teams like this. BYU doesn't.

BYU71 called. He wants his shtick back.

Nice to finally get a signature win in the Pac-12. Stanford is a damn good team and it felt great to beat them.

As for the Ducks-Huskies game, SeattleUte is right the tide has turned in the series. I mean the Ducks only won the game by 21 this year and only put 45 points on the board. I'm really worried that next year the Huskies might keep the game within 2 scores.

Snap shot in time my friend. Wait until those recruits hear about Don James and Warren Moon, the fact they were 3-4 years old last time Washington was relevant nationally and 5-6 the last time they beat Oregon will all fade away. Plus, the architecture! Have you seen it around campus? OMG!

Good job, Utah. You guys beat a bunch of computer nerds. BFD. They were probably more worried about their homework or facebook page than the game against Utah.

Stupid trees. Five yards away from making it a perfect football day for me.

[old_gregg]

kwhit is one hell of a big game coach.

[MarkGrace]

A fade on 4th and goal. Wow. Leach just puts it up there.

[MarkGrace]

Holy crap Leach calls a fake at like their own 30.

[MarkGrace]

Or was that not a fake at all? Kid didn't look like he knew what was going on.

[MarkGrace]

Beavs about to take control of this one.

Congrats on beating a top 5 team during the regular season.....it only took you guys over 100 years to accomplish it!!

I see your point but I still think the PAC provides consistent opportunities against top 25 teams. Just my opinion. Besides, its not like i'm raining on anything BYU. I like independence and I like BYU's schedule. I have no complaints. My only point is that Utah is going to use this as a recruiting pitch (hell they already are milking the PAC-12 for all its worth. Everyone on the team has to talk about "PAC-12 football" or "we see players like this in the PAC-12 every week," etc.).

And it took having home games stacked in their favor. They have played every game in Utah thus far. Only one away game halfway through November? How did they score that sweet deal?
