What about the OSU game, where Johnson proved he was a gamer? Those last few minutes have me wondering if the real Johnson will stand up. I admit though he can be woefully inconsistent in his passing game.

BJ has shown flashes of brilliance but one drive against OSU doesnt make him a great qb. Especially since the first play of that drive he through an out route that was a pick 6 for OSU but he didnt have the arm strength to get it there and he one hopped it. I will say the thrown down the middle for a touchdown was a thing of beauty.

BJ and Andy Dalton are both QBs where you essentially know what you're getting. They'll make a few plays, manage the game, and turn the ball over once or twice. The only question is whether or not the team can overcome the QBs turnovers.

He often runs like a ninny... When he decides to run the football without abandon he is dangerous as can be. Problem is that doesnt happen enough

I know more about football than you do. You think you know about football but have never proven anything. Rather than thinking you know about football, why don't you demonstrate your pretend knowledge and give reasons why Utah will win? To win, Utah will have to: - limit turnovers - not make the same kind mental mistakes (as in false starts and idiotic personal fouls) - get the passing game working in order to stretch the defense so the run game can be effective, but it won't be easy against the best run defense in the country - be extremely disciplined in their blocking schemes especially when it comes to stopping the TCU DE - control the A and B gaps with the interior DLs and the DEs will have to put a lot of pressure on the QB to get him out of the pocket. Dalton seems to be much more effective when he has time to throw. - knock the receivers off their routes at the line of scrimmage. TCU's receivers are faster than any that Utah has faced this year and while the Utah DBs have very good speed, it's a lot easier to disrupt timing than have to run step for step with a receiver who knows where he's going. - control the tempo of the game. The offense needs to win time of possession by a substantial margain so the defense won't tire out. Ok, Einstein, your turn. Demonstrate your alleged knowledge.

My understanding is that BJ has been asked by coaches to not take risks so he can remain healthy, but I do think he is gunshy because of the past injuries so he isn't as all out as he could be.

Thus sayeth Rocky. How about we just let them play in four days? I understand why you all think TCU is invincible. I'm waiting to see what happens when they play the Utes.
