WIDE OPEN RYAN DAVIS TOUCHDOWN

WHAT DID I JUST WATCH

DANIEL BRAY HUGE RUN FOR THE TOUCHDOWN. UTES LEAD! I REPEAT UTES LEAD!

Devon Dampier can barely jog. A quarterback who can barely jog has been running the offense for an entire half.

Pull the receipts. I’m ready.

Naquari Rogers, who had 2 TDs last week. Carried the ball 1 time tonight.

Just to let everyone know, Quick Quack carwash reversed these stats. Which honestly makes this loss worse, but I did want to point it out.

Kyle Whittingham insistent on going with analytics on the first drive of the game. 4th and 1 is a go every single time.

“We have struggled at that distance” 1 for 6 from 40+. Kyle Whittingham’s decision to not let Dillon Curtis kick on the 4th and 7 was based on stats this season, and the analytics were almost 50/50.

“Just check the availability report…. There’s a good possibility” Kyle Whittingham hints at Byrd Ficklin getting the starting nod against Colorado.

Scooby Davis was unable to go for a portion of time and that resulted in Don Saunders getting a decent amount of time.

When asked about why the Utes stopped running inside Whittingham said “we made a concerted effort to get to the edges”

Whittingha’s response when asked about Dampier being hobbled and Ficklin possibly getting the start: “If we end up going that route based on health, we have the confidence in him to get it done”

Although Utah lost on Saturday, there are a couple things to keep in mind: -The 2 hardest games on the schedule are done. There is a good chance the Utes win out. -Freshmen showed out. Daniel Bray is extremely talented, with both JJ Buchanan and Byrd Ficklin also showing flashes

Utah will give the drone show another try this weekend. It was canceled for the ASU because of the rain.

The mayor sits tied for second in sacks going into week 9

Red and white for the Utes against the Buffs

A valid prediction. With a backup at QB for Utah this game becomes a lot more interesting.

Deion Sanders likes his steak well done. Utah cannot lose this weekend.

The unfortunate reality. Utah is better analytically than most teams in the country. Analytics unfortunately don’t win football games.
