Utah is going to massively underwhelm this year

Utah is like the Seahawks. Their roster looks kinda shitty but they’re usually there at the end with a chance to do something you didn’t think they could. Yeah, there are seasons this doesn’t line up, like last year, but the Utes are tuff. Not Pat Hill tuff, but it takes more than a few body blows to beat them.

Whittingham needs to give Helton half his salary or more.TheHB said:Utah is like the Seahawks.

I’m not a Whittington fan, but he’s done a damn good job, especially when you compare the list of dreck coaches that have come and gone in the conference while he’s been at Utah. And the Utes usually contend. It’s fucking Utah!haie said:

He’s a good coach. He would do well at a bigger school.TheHB said:

Utah is exhibit A about freaking out about recruiting. They win or make the conference title game almost every year and they rarely pull in big time recruits. There are only so many players that are clearly standouts. It’s why Alabama, Ohio State, Georgia, etc have five first rounders every year. Those teams aren’t in the PAC 12. Classes ranked in the 20’s and 30’s can win this conference with good coaching. -
And yet 'we"? Have lost to Oregon repeatedly outside a couple years with Pete and Whittingham and his 2 stars took them to the wood shed twice in 2 weeks.haie said:
He got punked by Washington and Oregon over and over before last year. Couldn't really beat SC either.Ice_Holmvik said:
They butt fucked O twice in 2 weeks. I wouldn't bet against Whittingham. Guy is a winner and always exceeds expectations.haie said:They got hot at the end of last year and they give off a vibe of a little mountain west team that can't handle the pressure of being a defending champion.

The PAC is pretty bad. Anyone with a decent roster and a few things that go their way can win it.

UW's 2016 and 2017 teams would both plunger any Oregon team since Mariota left. Pete's success made him ramp up OKG and we took too many soft pussies and kept trotting out a shitty offense.Ice_Holmvik said:

Yoot always starts out like shit. So Florida wins that one. However, they have all of the pieces to run train on the PAC 12.
Even without an 8th year exception for Covey. -
Wasn't impressed with Florida last year. Doubt their offense will do much against Ute defense.Kaepsknee said:Yoot always starts out like shit. So Florida wins that one. However, they have all of the pieces to run train on the PAC 12.

Will be low scoring, but I see Utah winning 20-13. -
"Utah is going to suck next year" reads like the kind of football anal-isis I used to barf onto the board back when UW was "leveling up" and Oregon "wouldn't do shit" with Herbert and Meat and their soft, pussy recruits. Predicting the happening of simply what you want to happen can tend to be pretty embarrassing in hindsight.
