Yes Fred, I agree. At some point Utah has to make some plays and stop shooting themselves in the foot.
Otherwise Oregon will not quit, this team is ready to quit as soon as the game is either a little out of hand or a couple of big plays are made against them. Utah needs to pick it up!!!
If Utah does not pick up their intensity they will not cover this game...
they are sleeping and going through the motions. If they had any intensity this game would be over already

Disappointment on losing the 9*. Been following the Ducks for over 20 years, and yesterday's performance was totally unexpected. Some reasons, possibly:
1) It was good for them to get out of Eugene. There is so much negativity there, that the road brought them closer together.
2) Attitude of nothing to lose. No pressure, just play hard and see what happens.
3) There is enough offense talent to score points on almost anyone, and Utah's D looked a little flat.
4) Morning game. Rice-Eccles Stadium can be nuts for Ute home games, but more subdued at 11:00 AM.
5) Duck players know the new coach will look at film, and want to impress. My quitting comments were somewhat overblown. Football is such an investment of mind and body, that Saturday is important no matter how bad the season has gone.
Besides the 9*, and some lousy 1*s, the middle bets paid off okay. Went 8-8, -2.8 units. Will update YTD in next week's thread. Thanks for all the input.

I'm a big Utes fan and put the farm on this game not expecting Oregon to actually show up. They did and the Utes revisited their old reputation of being a lousy favorite. Now having said that, I love them as 10 point dogs against Colorado this week. Utes can hold their own with anyone despite that shit show on Saturday.
