***Utah Game Week Discussion Thread***
- Thread starter theshadow

I said the game was "closer" than the score indicated. Game was a 12 point game to start the 4th, then Colorado easily pulled a way.
All I was getting at is I think this game is going to be much harder than we realize. I mean we haven't played well the past 4 games IMO.
That being said, if we play decent and don't make mistakes we should be fine.
Even when healthy it's not like ISU was some dominant force.
Even the 'bad' teams are fairly evenly matched.
I expect a tough game Saturday and I would even if ISU were 10-0.
They looked horriffic this weekend against Colorado. Therefore I fully expect they will have it all figured out and look like a completely different team this Saturday.
This was one of the preseason lines I grabbed that didn’t make any sense, I grabbed +10 on May 7 for some lunch money.
this is random and not related to Utah but anyone see this on Facebook? Looks like a troll account or more likely it's just a bot account spewing random stuff. I think everyone in the replies are also bots/boomers.
All of the recent posts are made up stories about Cincinnati and Iowa State so I can't tell if it's a scorned ISU turf grass burner account or what lol.

They were in that game until the 4th, Prime was throwing reverse passes up two scores to try to run up the score and get Hunter more stats at the end of the game. They played as good as anyone has against Colorado's passing game, I think something 90% of Shadeurs completions were bubble screens and passes behind the LOS bc Utah took away their mid/deep passing options. They dared CU to run on them and the Buffs could not, we'll have our hands full against their defense bc I don't have a ton of confidence in our run game.
Utah has actually looked good the last two weeks (against the top two teams in the league), they have just come up short, that may prove your prediction right, could finally start getting the bounces their way.
The last football trip to the state of Utah went pretty well, so let's hope for a similar performance this time around.
It was great to see the smile Matt had after that, very shortly followed by an angry tirade when the play didn't get in on time immediately following.
I saw similar stories about Matt Rhule and the Cinci coach complaining about refs and getting fined, so just stupid AI bots getting hits.
Pretty downer outlook from you here. In my opinion, the game was a tale of 2 halves. Teams looked pretty even first half. Iowa State clearly better in the 2nd. Final score was about as close as it felt it should've been. We broke their will after the fake punt 4th down conversion, which was ether late 2nd or early 3rd quarter, can't recall
