This is the 2 time Pac12 defending champion and we held them to 3 points.

That is something to be excited about.

Giving grimes and mateos some credit… the O-line changes this week have been good changes

Beautiful play call by Grimes there. Great execution by the O line and Robertson!
Grimes has called an excellent game today. He's basically built an entirely new offense for Robertson.

Contrary to popular opinion here, he's a really good OC.


His results would say otherwise. But yes was a good half for him hugely benefitted by an interception putting us in the RZ
His results wouldn't say otherwise. His offensive efficiency rankings the last three years are as follows ...

2022 -- 25
2021 -- 34
2020 -- 2

He's a good OC by any objective measure.

Im withholding judgement. Yes,much improved but Utah isn't the same team with backup QB then the complete team that won Pac 12. Also missing two running back starters But yes. We are playing bettervand improved greatly over last week

Having a mobile QB radically changes or offense. Why did we run off Bohannon

Big XII has a chance to really make a statement this week after BU, TCU, and Tech all crapped the bed last week. Baylor, Tech, and Texas all playing top 15 teams. ISU and Cincinnati also with decent matchups and OSU on the road against another future conference foe in ASU

Wondering if the Utes will ditch their game plan and just start throwing it all over the place in the second half(?)

Hoping the 10 points we left on the field in the first half doesn't come back to bite us.

But we still want traitor Texas to get Elephant stomped!

I think the opposite. I think they stay with the ground game and we see more of the running qb

Richardson with 7.4 YPC - keep feeding him


He did a hell of a job in the first half picking up extra yards after first contact also. He's a tough hombre.

Last week was a swift gut check of the highest order. Every player after that performance has to question/evaluate their own effort/want to/heart/desire. It appears that to a man the response has been all we would hope for. Maybe it happening so early actually jump starts these guys playing together as a team.

This needs more stars!

I don't know where Utah is located but foshooooo the big 12 don't run through there. Wow they talked so much and rolled out that trash. Hilarious

So it would seem but let's not get ahead of ourselves. There still are two more quarters left. Also, the Utes were playing a little better in Q2.

They are missing some key skill players for sure....but what was encouraging to me is that in the trenches we seemed to hold our own on both sides of the ball.

What had me most worried about last week was how a Sunbelt team manhandled our lines.

A score here to go up 2 would be huge.

Would force Utah out of their game plan.

Not good to see Richardson go down. He's a huge weapon for us.

This is where we would fail to score last year and allow teams to hang around. This is a good opportunity to show some growth.

Exactly.

I don't have confidence we'll do it on this drive..but if our D keeps getting stops hopefully we'll pinch one in and get that 2 score advantage.

In this heat, that's a real possibility.
