BYU only beat Washington with prayer. That result is far more embarrassing than a storied program like Notre Dame beating another storied program like Michigan in a rain-drenched battle.tysquihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03952080446650385939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424335.post-71168168727767564662008-09-13T18:15:00.000-06:002008-09-13T18:15:00.000-06:00Hmmm...ND beats Michigan after barely beating San ...Hmmm...ND beats Michigan after barely beating San diego st and Coach long saying he wasn't sure whether cal poly or ND was better...maybe its not that big of a win after all. Gotta say 59-0 over UCLA is much more impressive than 25-23 over Michigan...but I get ahead of myself. UCLA might end up being horrible this year as well. As for tonights game, go UTAH STATE! :)sdandehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12346977674657901653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424335.post-46233599361193053702008-09-13T18:12:00.000-06:002008-09-13T18:12:00.000-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.sdandehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12346977674657901653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424335.post-35417025569879466182008-09-05T22:41:00.000-06:002008-09-05T22:41:00.000-06:00I was in Chicago enjoying a deep dish pizza at gio...I was in Chicago enjoying a deep dish pizza at giordano's and had to convince the waiter to switch the t.v. to the "michigan" game(they wouldn't allow anything but the cubs to play in there so I had to convince him lots of people wanted to see michigan...he wouldn't have listened to me if I said Utah). I was impressed with what I saw, which was the last 1/2 of the 2nd and the first 1/2 of the 3rd. I saw a poised, confident quarterback in Brian Johnson, a couple of great runs by Matt Atiata(sp?)and a great kicking game. The defense looked pretty good too. The jury is still out though because I'm not convinced Michigan was a very good team. I didn't watch the BYU game but was disappointed to hear they were only up 27-17 in the 4th before pulling away. I love ESPN predicting the UTES in the BCS...it puts the bullseye on the them rather than on BYU and will allow the Cougs to be shielded from what happened to TCU when they were annointed the BCS busters a few years ago! I'm actually pulling for the Utes to go undefeated because it will be that much sweeter when the cougs beat them in rice-eccles this year! ;) Oh and ya'll better watch out for Utah State! :)sdandehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12346977674657901653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424335.post-75043928022574695402008-09-03T15:58:00.000-06:002008-09-03T15:58:00.000-06:00I guess you haven't seen Utah fans acting like the...I guess you haven't seen Utah fans acting like they've won the national championship after beating a mediocre Michigan team...<BR/><BR/>People are stupid if they consider NIU a quality win.

Against Northern Iowa they pretty much moved the ball at will. Max Hall and Dennis Pitta could not be stopped. Most of there mistakes were made by freshmen or sophomores and included coughing up the ball at bad times. So it's really a mixed reaction out here (kind of like the Utes - good win, but bad penalties and turnovers).tysquihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03952080446650385939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424335.post-28462197945383475252008-09-02T06:27:00.000-06:002008-09-02T06:27:00.000-06:00I agree about the bowl projection list too.

Let them play a little bit more, then we will see where everyone really is.<BR/>Seeing that I am out in Carolina, I did not see the byu game. How did they struggle? Listening to people in my ward out here you would have thought they beat Georgia in dominating fashion and should be number #1.Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02727268938048908500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424335.post-78193092246898013002008-09-02T05:52:00.000-06:002008-09-02T05:52:00.000-06:00It's a bit early for this list, I agree.

I was glad to see BYU struggle with NIU though. This will be a big measuring stick for the Utes this week. Utah should come out and pound UNLV. These are the games I get the most nervous for as a Utah fan.JTENMANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09864890598313317509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424335.post-3188254939147463172008-09-02T05:40:00.000-06:002008-09-02T05:40:00.000-06:00That was a great win, especially because a whole l...That was a great win, especially because a whole lot of my classmates here at UNC went to Michigan. Fantastic!<BR/>My one concern with these Whit coached teams is that they lack discipline. They make too many penalties and do not put teams away. For whatever reason they always start to run out the clock in the 3rd Quarter!! They gotta start playing the whole game. <BR/>Other than that, they played great D and I think the running game is going to get better. Good stuff.<BR/>Thoughts?<BR/><BR/>(WOW THAT WAS A LONG COMMENT!)Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02727268938048908500noreply@blogger.com
