In the interest of equal time...

I was told that since I blogged about BYU football when they beat TCU a couple of weeks ago, that I need to blog about Utah football too. Well, in the interest of fairness, I shall.

I don't know exactly what is wrong with the Utah football team, perhaps because the list it too long to narrow down to anything specifically. A couple of things I noticed as the Utes got beat by the second worst team in the conference last night...

1) Ratliff can't throw an accurate ball beyond about 5 yards.
2) Weddle can't keep up in man coverage when the receiver runs an unexpected route (read: over-the-middle slant route)
3) Utah's defense was tackling about as well as BYU's did last year.
4) The play calling by OC Andy Ludwig was atrocious. A 30 yard fade pattern on 4th and 4 with a QB that can't complete anything???

I could go on, but I think you get the idea.

And please spare me the comments about having beat BYU the last 4 years in a row. We're all aware of the record.

And I'm not saying BYU is going to beat Utah this year. It doesn't matter how good one team is and how bad the other team is when it comes to the rivalry game. Just look at last year... BYU was favored and nobody thought Utah had a chance, but the Yewts won anyway. All that said, however, I really do think BYU will win it this year.
