The Case for Kalani Sitake

[TripletDaddy]

I definitely disagree with your last point. I think 6-6 is much more like than 8-4 going into the bowl game. I think that 7-5 is the most likely scenario.

Who do they have left? Arizona at home will be tough only because you are stuck with def Leppard for the rest of the season but I think they should still pull off that win. Utah should beat Colorado easily. Anyone else?

Utah has Stanford, Arizona, and Colorado left on the schedule. Utah sucks against Arizona. In the 2 games against Rich-Rod the Utes have lost by 10 points and 11 points. I have no confidence the Utes can win that game. Stanford is probably a 65/35 game in favor of Stanford. With the issues at QB and now the injuries at WR, I have no reason to even be confident that Utah can beat Colorado.

You don't recognize the difference between a deficit in the 1st quarter and a deficit late in the 3rd or 4th? Or are you just trolling?

Yes, the timing matters. But a 14-pt swing is a big deal whenever it happens.

I am on the Oregon bandwagon for the playoffs, but I seriously doubt they make it past the first round. Travis effing Wilson shredded the Duck defense. Let that sink in for a moment.

The farm sucks this season. In fact, I'm wondering if shaw was riding the remnants of what Harbaugh left behind. this game will be interesting...two inept offenses going after each other. Utahs defense is way better than stanfords.

Travis Wilson threw a bunch of poor thrown screen passes and swing passes to a stud RB who made great plays. He also had 2 long catches by Clay. He had a 67.1 QBR and threw 2 INTs. He didn't shred anyone.

Utah's defense is way better, but Stanford's offense is way better than Utah's offense. They also have a much better QB, and yes I realize that Hogan sucks.

The Utes had 5 consecutive games go down to the last play and the quality of the opponent didn't seem to matter. That's a symptom of bad offense and good defense. All three of the remaining games are coin flips as long as Booker stays healthy.

Utah's defense excels at getting to the QB and you guys have Booker. You will have a chance to win all of the three remaining games. Arizona is probably the biggest hurdle but you are placing too much faith in a freshman QB who will be under constant pressure. I would be shocked if Utah lost to both Stanford and Arizona.

Have you watched stanford much this season? The offense is terrible and no it isn't way better than utahs offense. QB play is probably better on the whole but wilson can hand off to booker a lot, we know that much. As long as he isn't rolling out, utah has a chance. Bad things happen when travis Wilson rolls out.

lol. funk, you are hilarious.

He had 297 yards passing in three quarters. Way above the season average.

Didn't I say last week that I'm not sold on the defense being a playoff defense. You could've saved a lot of time and just trusted me then.

[TripletDaddy]

Those two deep passes he threw were really good passes. On the money. Not his fault Clay blew it.

in fairness that last INT he threw was pretty horrible.

Ha. I thought of that post during the game. You were right!

The deep passes don't count. Neither do short passes to good players.
