Go Utes. Having divisions now makes it really easy to know who to root for in inter-division games.

Utah has been able to bring the heat against UW. Why couldn't Cal? I'm glad we're playing Utah at "home."

:cheer

I agree ... root for the Northern teams to lose against the South every time

Wow Utah's D is really getting pressure on Price. They got a sack w/ a 3-man rush. Washington looks horrible.


It's sad when opposing teams reference the time they played Cal as ideal, like when SC fans want their offense to look like it did against Cal. UW fans now saying that their D looked best against Cal in the 2nd half.

Utah is imploding in the red zone, coughing up two TOs. Maybe UW plays well in the red zone?

Bbdb!

Trufant is actually getting called for PI..amazing

UW is not going to be a factor this season because Price won't last, knees just aren't very resilient body parts. Oregon, USC are going to destroy them in November, they're looking at 4 big losses in a row in the 2nd half of their schedule: Furd, Zona, Oregon, USC.

From the looks of things, either Utah has a very good front 4, UW's O-line seriously regressed, or our d-line leaves a lot to be desired.

I realllllly hope it's the 2nd one.

LOL...honestly it is #1 and #3.....

Lol, 24-7 UW, welcome to the Pac-12, Utah Utes. As much as I dislike the huskies you've got to root for the Pac-8 v the ex-MWC here.

UW looking like a decent road OT loss for us right now...

If we don't destroy Utah at home I'll personally volunteer to go kick JT in the balls.....

Utes and Colorado suck. They should be evicted now from our proud conference.

Can't believe they were 10 pt. favs...

Thats because people keep using transitive properties to state things as some sort of fact. Its a funny game.

Welcome to the Pac-12.

I don't know how to type this.

Uuuhhh, wahh, wahh, uuuuhh..uuu. uh. Where's, huh. huh. huh. huh my BCS slot?

F--ing P-ssies.

I think all BCS conference fans will take note that Utah is 0-2 in Pac-12 play (especially since neither loss is to Oregon or Stanford), and will be happy about it, as it justifies (in the fans' minds) the ranking bias against the strong non-BCS teams. Especially sweet in this analysis is that Utah killed BYU.

Where did this narrative about us not bringing heat on Price come from? We brought a lot of heat and harassed the hell out of him. We didn't hit him enough, because he did a good job of moving around the pocket and buying time, but we did bring the heat.

Also: This UW/Utah game is hilarious and reinforces my argument (and the argument of others) that Utah/Boise/BYU/TCU, etc. are horrendously overrated and when they have to play tough games week after week, they will struggle.

If you have the tape, please review. I remember never seeing more than 5. NEver did we try to rattle the first year QB with a full fire house blitz and I can't remember us ever sending the CB from the corner

This is a tall order. I was there in person and it was painful. But I do have the torrent and will review. Perhaps this week. However, while we're both on the same ground, I wholly disagree and felt that he was under duress all day. Price impressed me a lot in how he dealt with it.

Yup. The era of 10 win seasons are over for Utah. I disagree with the statement that they don't belong in the P12. They are quite competitive in the conference. But they need to get used to losing 5 or 6 times a year. That's what happens when you have to play real times each week.

If Cal loses a home game this year, I will personally volunteer to go kick Sandy in the balls.

Boise St would be in the same boat if they played 9 tough games a year instead of 2.

TCU, OTOH, is just terrible even in the MWC.

Hopefully Utah turns it over 5 times (including 3 fumbles) when they play us too.

I don't think they are really as bad as they looked in this game (nor are they as good as they looked against BYU).

Anyone still think UW is not on the come up?

I didn't watch. Anyone know why Wynn left the game? Did Wittingham give him the hook or is he hurt?

Huh? So winning 6 or 7 times a year (50% or more of your games) doesn't make you competitive? That is almost the definition. They may not win every game, but they field a competitive team.

Dominant no....competitive yes.

I'd pay to see that, and I like Sandy.

Hurt. Looked like left arm. Commentators made point several times that his arm was just hanging.

That depends on how...errr...competitive you are in the 5-6 games you lose. The way Cal lost to Washington shows that we may now be competitive. The way we were pounded by SC and Oregon and OrSt and Stanford and Washington over the past couple of years shows that we were often not.

What that game said to me is that we should kick U$C's a$$ when they come to AT&T as well as Utah's!

Sarkisian is doing things at UW

sarky has lucked out with price.

price can make all types of throws, has great field vision & awareness, certainly can scramble well to buy more time, and most likely can run well if healthy.

his game actually reminds me of aaron rodgers's 1st year, when rodgers showed us his ability to spray the ball all over the field.

uw will be very good in 2012 and 2013 if price can stay healthy.

i think price will be the best qb in the pac12 next year.

If we do that and potential wins at UCLA, OSU, WSU would give us 8 wins!

A team that goes 8-5 or 7-6 is better than half the teams. You have a strange notion of what is "competitive"...

Given that a D1AA is almost always going to be on the list, along with at least one pushover OOC D1A team...

Competitive, no.
