Dalton is not making to many mistakes this year as well. He has only thrown 2 pics so far this year. He has also completed 60% of his passes. This is great but it isn't that bad either.

He did play well against CSU and UNLV at home as well. Again this is my opinion. I think Dalton's going to have more costly mistakes than Brian Johnson will.

HL, the line is pk. Shows what you know.

I am just disagreeing with you. I think BJ has made more mistakes this year than Dalton and I think that will be the case on Thursday.

Dalton is not mistake prone, he is not a great qb but he is not mistake prone. He does what BJ should be doing and that is managing the game and limiting turnovers.

Andy Dalton has 9 td passes, 6 rushing tds, and only 2 ints, with 0 fumbles this year.

BJ has thrown for 14 td passes, rushed for 1, and has thrown 8 ints and fumbled 7 times.

Not trying to be a douche but you think Utah has a better offense than Oklahoma? Or as good of an offense?

The way I see it is that TCU has the best run defense in college football and Utah does not have a great O-line. So the running game will be neutralized, which means that BJ is going to be counted upon to beat TCU and that favors TCU big time.

However Dalton is not a great QB and Utah has a good defense so thats why I think it is a low scoring game.
