Our talent and talent development put us somewhere in the middle of the PAC and that is where we have finished most years. We are talented enough to challenge and beat the big names, but not so talented that we can simply show up and beat another team of equal talent. With a few coaching exceptions, none of whom are coming to Utah, I don't see our talent level changing dramatically. As a result, I don't see the risk of change being worth it.
Until that Rose Bowl happens, I will continue to buy my season tickets, attend the games and enjoy watching the Utes. I will try not to get my hopes up until after the final whistle on the last weekend in November. I really jinxed us by buying flights to San Jose for the Championship game after the UCLA win. Fortunately they were on Southwest, so I am not out anything.
