Any analysis link?

I haven't followed, except very superficially the Utes' games, but I am curious as to expectations for this TCU game.

Well seeings how their QB and best two RBs are hurt. I am expecting a win. In the vein of 17-7

I'm expecting the team to shake off the BSU loss and show some fire (like they showed on...oh, the first drive of the BSU game).

What this team needs is a sustained effort against a good opponent. They have every reason to be motivated and they need to back up what they've been saying in the short time since the BSU loss. If that loss truly means nothing in terms of winning the conference, then the team should have every opportunity to prove that tonight.

31-21

Can't Mrs. Fuegote do a better job helping you out in that department?

I'm not as optimistic as my fellow Ute fans. While I'd be happy with a win, I just don't see it happening.

TCU wins it 27-10.

Keep your expectations low and you are seldom disappointed. That's my motto.

I don't think TCU scores 27 points. I think TCU wins because they will make fewer mistakes. They had turnovers against BYU, I doubt they lose the TO margin twice in a row. Last week BYU beat TCU, TCU did not beat themselves. I think Utah is more likely to beat themselves. I am in the 13-6 camp.

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.
