Seriously, If UT doesn't beat BYU by at least 4 TDs,

I went to bed at halftime so I did not see most of the scoring. Their QB, Wilson, looked pretty rusty and if he doesn't improve, our defense should control the game. They appeared to have one running back who looked pretty good. I did not see any of the final stats, but both teams looked sloppy in the first half. I think we win because I think our offense will be better than Utah's. I think we will be favored by about 12 and we should cover the spread.

I went to bed also. However I think their defense may be "faster than we are giving them credit for. Also their short to medium range passing game looks pretty good to me and should be more accurate by the time they get to town. Could be a real tough game.

It’s definitely going to be a good litmus test for our secondary based off what BYU’s passing game did last night.

I believe the game with BYU will be a lot closer game. They turned the ball over a lot in that game and set Utah up for some easy scores and their red zone offense was bad. D is actually pretty good. I am confident Vols win but will have a tougher time with them than Utah did. Will be a good test for this team.

Yup, that RB Moss (I think) is legit good and could play in any conf as well as the NFL. Their defense is good as well. Probably a couple of high draft picks. There is a reason they are a dark horse to make the playoffs. I would much rather be playing BYU than Utah next week no doubt

He is the cousin to Santana Moss.

This is why I can't look at BYU as a "bad/horrible/trash" team that we'll mop the field with. Utah is a fine team. They'd give any team in the country some problems. I suspect it was more a case of how good Utah is vs how bad BYU looked. Take the cougs lightly and we'll grab an L. It's certainly a game we can and really need to win, but UT had better show up and play lights out.

agreed.

can't be looking ahead to the following week as well.

Will be interesting to see how Cheney calls it. Hopefully we can avg 5YPC like Utah, hit a few deep passes and call it a day.

UH...you do know there's a football game that has to be played and won BEFORE BYU comes to town don't you..????
Given our program's recent history, I'm going to recommend takin'em one-at-a-time. We have to beat Georgia State before anyone on this forum needs to be worrying about "how many TDs we're going to beat BYU by".

That’s the beauty of being a fan and not a member of the program. We can look ahead all we want and it has absolutely ZERO to do with anything. Heck, I’m already looking ahead to Florida. If the people inside the building are looking ahead, then we have a problem. Fans (especially on a message board) have nothing to stop them from looking ahead.

Now to the OP, I think it will be fairly close. BYU made a ton of mistakes, and teams usually clean those up between games 1 and 2. The QB is young but talented. Their D is adequate for the most part. If we are the team making mistakes, they could make it a very nervous Saturday evening for us. If both teams play to our potential, I think we are 2-3 td’s better. We will see.

from what i saw in Q1 the large polynesian boys on the BYU DL seemed to control the line of scrimmage. Utah offense took to the edges and had early success.

did this change later in the game?

I passed out early in the third when game was still close.

CJP is not going to risk injuries running up a score on an opponent that is getting it handed to them, HOWEVER, when it comes to the SEC..........I think he might be a salt in the wound kind of coach..............hope so =]

Go Vols!
