End zone shot during 4th quarter

Ganther plows his way into the end zone for a touchdown!

1. Our kicking game stinks. We’ve kicked kickoffs out of bounds, shanked punts, had field goals blocked, missed field goals… Why is this so hard? Even in the Urban days our kicking was not good.

Memo to coach: Go over to the soccer team and find a kicker…

Boy there was sure a fall chill in the air at the game. It was quite chilly in my seats by the portal. This was not the greatest game of football I’ve ever seen, but it was a victory.

The first quarter was terrible and the 2nd not much better. Ganther busted out on about an 85 yard run for a TD, but it was called back due to a penalty. Then in the next offensive series we drove down and fumbled it away on their 20 yard line…

The good news was that after going down 0-7, we scored 31 unanswered points.

byu zoobies

So the zoobies have a tough game on their schedule at home this weekend: Eastern Illinois. This is a no win situation for the zoobies. They have to win by 50, just to stay even par. If this is a close game, or better, if they lose, it will be total chaos amongst the byu fans out there. And it will be another enjoyable week of listening to byu fans whining about their lousy football team on the local sports talk radio shows.

Utah vs Utah State

During the McBride years this game was frightening. Though we should have destroyed Utah State from a talent standpoint, we managed to lose that game a few times. In the Urban years this type of loss simply didn’t happen.

So this week will be a test of a different sort. Everyone knows we have more horses than USU, but do we have the brains and the coaching to use them correctly?

Go Utes!

It was a perfect weekend for a Ute fan:

1. Utah defeated Arizona 27-24
2. byu got their butts kicked in their home opener by BC

What more could you ask for?
