Receivers had some drops, but made some plays too.
It was nice to see Patrick living up to the long lived expectations.
We had a deep game without CBB. If/when he comes back, it'll be that much better.

Patrick had the inside on the long throw that Williams missed. Anything to the inside, and I think it would be a catch.Originally Posted by U-Ute
The FCS schools are very grateful for it, FWIW.

For those sweating the 24 points, look how many we left on the field. First drive, Raelon gets tripped up by the 5 yard line, then we can't punch it in. 4 points.
Boobie likewise gets trips on a punt return that might have been a TD. (Can't remember if we scored on that possession). 7 points. Phillips misses a makeable FG. 3 points.
So, it could have easily been 39-0, or 35-0, against a team that cared enough to keep fighting.
Watching the highlights from Logan, I know Jay Hill is dealing with issues far bigger than football, but on a couple of TD runs, the Aggie RB was untouched.
Didn't we smoke Weber last year, 70-7?
As they say in the military, "the enemy has a vote". Give SUU credit for not just showing up and letting us blast forward for 7 yards a carry. That would have been a much bigger disservice to us, the fans, SUU... everyone. I'm glad they punched us in the mouth.
For those still enjoying your panty wad, #12 Michigan State is leading mighty Furman 14-3 halfway through the third.

Ted Miller telling Ute fans to start freaking out:
My thoughts are this: Utah fans should run screaming into the streets.Then, when that gets old or people start to stare, they should go to The Pie and bring me a medium barbecue chicken cilantro because I am starving! First one here gets a slice.
Utah fans, I want you guys to hang out with Cal fans. The meshing of neuroses would be fun to watch. (Cal fans: "That might be fun but ... red ... hmmm. I don't know. Let me meditate on it. But only after Math Time.")
At the top of the Utah checklist, quarterback Troy Williams looked good Thursday night. Pretty much the only reason I watched was to get some data on that. But I also noticed: 1. Williams has a solid No. 1 option in receiver Tim Patrick; 2. Troy McCormick looked like more than a backup running back.
Defense? It pitched a shutout. Nothing more needs to be said.
As for the leaky offensive line, well, that was a bit of a surprise, but I suspect a lot of that was due to a syndrome known as "we're playing an FCS team in Week 1."
I will be truly surprised if Utah's season doesn't live up to expectations because of its O-line.
Lol. I recorded Swinney's post-game "Ute React" show and was listening this morning. Not sure he is the right guy for that show -- at least not alone. Anyway, he was in full panic mode about the o-line.

Huntley reminds me of Ratliff in that he is not afraid to sling it.
Then there was the ref getting in the way of a sure TD pass.
It would have been nice to score more points, but my only real concern is with the OL. I figure Joe Williams just has a bad night.

I love that. Mitch Wishnowski is going to surprise people this year. He averaged 55 yds per punt in this game.
I can't wait to see him on a fake punt. He is much bigger and faster than he appears, and is much faster and stronger than Tom Hackett. He is almost as big as Texas's '18-wheeler package' QB. He is going to flat out truck a defender at some point this year.
