GO UTES!!

I simply can't believe the Utes.  I'm giddy on everyday except Sunday (see last post).  Their defense is the most stifling I've seen it since Gary Anderson was the defensive coordinator in 2008.  They aren't getting as many sacks, but they are still pressuring and that has lead to turn overs.  A lot of turn overs!  19 to be exact.  In 6 games that amounts to 3.3 per game.  13 of which are interceptions.  That is more than a great backfield, it also is a great front seven. 

With all the love going to the defense, I have to say, for the first time since 2008, I don't hate the offense (see all other Utah centered posts).  It's still the same, tired read option centered pile of crap, but this time, it seems to have a purpose and identity.  The "throw game" is actually functioning.  It's not just back shoulder throws to the outside sideline this year.  There is a lot of over the middle posts, screens to the WR's and RB's, button hooks, and actually quite a few down the field streaks.  I am shocked at how open this offense is compared to a year ago. 

Travis Wilson is operating with efficiency and I am excited to watch the offense.  Booker is running over, threw, and around people.  He can't be tackled.  In an interview with ESPN, he said his dad always told him to never let the first guy tackle you.  He's a mini Marshawn Lynch.  He is going to have a long NFL career making people pay for hitting him.  It's going to be fun to watch.

The atmosphere at RES is electric.  It's been loud and obnoxious for years.  This year, we've upped the ante.  The North End Zone is insanity an I love it.  The MUSS is crazy as always and the middle seems to have caught on.  We are loud, and we are Ute Proud to be part of Ute Nation!! 

Go Utes!!!
