Expectations from Utenation for TCU?

[UteStar]

I am predicting a 20-14 win for the Utes.

This will be a big moment for Ute fans in how Kyle is perceived. If the Utes get blown out--there will be a lot of fans unhappy with how Kyle is handling the team. If the Utes get edged out by TCU, there will be some unhappy fans but it won't be as much anger...if the Utes win, people will be pleased with Kyle for now.

I think Kyle deserves some time to prove himself. The problem he has is he is a young coach, living up to Urban's legend...go Utes and go Kyle.

I understand the weather will be nasty down that way. Wet and windy. I doubt either team establishes much run or any pass either. It will come down to turnovers and game changing special teams play.

Depends on how many picks TCU has. Their defense is really fast. If Utah struggled that much against BSU's defense (who is good too, but not as fast as TCU), they could be in for a very long night.

You may be right because I hadn't taken into account the weather.

I just can't shake the thought that the Utes won't get it done today. Turnovers will be the key. I missed the TCU/BYU game so I don't know how BYU came up withe the TO's, but in the BSU game, the TOs were a direct result of idiotic passes that should never have been thrown. IOW, they could have been avoided. It's not like BSU made great plays to get them - all 4 were unforced errors. That's one of the reasons I believe the Utes will lose. No reason to think they'll not give the ball away tonight.

TCU is pissed about last week. The Utes got punched in the mouth and rolled over. Not a good combination.

TCU wins it 27-10.

I like being wrong. Of course, I'm usually wrong so I' used to it.
