    Utah vs Utah St 9/7 thoughts?

    I've seen similar threads posted that have provided some decent insight into the games, so I wanted to do the same thing on Utah/Utah St for tomorrow night. I know a lot of people are still looking at the UC/Pitt game, but I want to get an early look at Utah/Utah St in case the line moves similar to UC/Pitt on gameday. Currently 78% of the public is on Utah at -7/-7.5 on the road and the line has only moved ~.5.

    One thing I like to see is local posters providing any kind of insight that may be helpful.

    Both teams won easily over weaker competition on 8/30 in their first game this year.

    Utah is returning 7 starters on Defense and 9 on Offense. QB is returning from shoulder injury.

    Utah State returns 6 starters on offense and defense.

    Let's get a good discussion on who you are taking, or which way you are leaning, and please include why. I need to look at it more but first look I'm leaning towards Utah and possibly the O.

    You consider Keeton the better QB?

    The in state rivalry is what concerns me most with the spread being 7 1/2.

    I know that Utah's recruiting classes are rated a ton higher then Utah State-Last 3 years average Utah~30 to Utah State~100 which means they hold a significant talent advantage.

    The Utes are absolutely loaded on defense, especially the D line. Utah St has not seen a defense like this, Keeton won't have much time to throw. Utah should open up their offense much more this week after not showing much last week with a QB returning and a new OC.

    Utah and Under

    The line has moved to Utah -6 1/2 despite 72% of public on Utah. Since the line came down a point already I'm going to wait and see how much more it moves since I was leaning Utah.

    Utah all the way. As pointed out above they have a great defense, and they have a great offensive line, which will let quarterback Jordan Wynn pass at will. Also Utah is at home. I see no reason what so ever to consider Utah State. I personally have taken Utah in this game. It should be a fun game to watch, as I expect both teams to put points up, but I just think Utah has better over all talent on both sides of the ball.

    Correction: The game is being played at Utah State.

    @ShogunRua,
    It is easy to say take Utah State, but that means nothing unless you want to explain to us why you feel Utah State is the team to take.

    It's at Utah State. If this was at Utah, my bet would be locked in

    Edit: beaten like a dog

    Utah State came close to betting a very competitive SEC team last year at this time while on the road. Utes really weren't all that impressive last year as new comers to the PAC-12. Quarterback is the key?? Jordan Wynn is pathetic QB-has yet and will not live up to what is was prompted to be, injury, surgery-poor response post operatively. I was in Indiana when they played ND, watching him play, once his team gets down, he gives up-seen it in his face. My favorite team in the world is UTES, but believe me-a Win only dependent on Wynn will result in a loss. D-fence and John White, whom will be the primary target once they realize the passing game is OUT!

    My money-Utah; by 7. (my favorite team, mind you)
    Best of Luck...
