Michigan vs Utah

[The Hog]

Got a game going.  Mich 10 Utah 6.  Utah with the ball and moving.  At the Michigan 35..

[The Hog]

Utah scores.  Penalty on Utah.  Puts the ball at the 20 and 2nd down.

[oldbear]

Would anyone else love to see Michigan and the Big 10 with another opening day loss?

[The Hog]

Utah settles for a FG.  Mich 10 Utah 9

[The Hog]

Michigan offense is sputtering.  It will take Rodriguez time to get his type of players to run the spread.

[The Hog]

Utah 12 Michigan 10

[Bomis Hawg]

This has been an interesting game.  Louie Sakoda (one of the top kickers in the nation) had an XP blocked on their first TD.
The Michigan offense hasn't quite shown much.  I think their defense has done a good job keeping Utah in check.

[SRFL]

Has McGuffie hurdled anyone yet? 

[Bomis Hawg]

Utah giving a direct snap to Matt Asiata.  The Wild Ute formation? 

[SRFL]

Utah going with some Wildcat with a huge HB.  Michigan is in trouble in this one I think.

[3kgthog]

Couldn't happen to a better guy. Come on Utes.

[The Hog]

Utah 15 10 now.

[Bomis Hawg]

Nice 41 yard kick from the right hash by Sakoda.
15-10 Utah.

[WindyCityHog]

Utah is giving Michigan all it can handle....and more.

Is Utah that good or is Michigan just simply overrated and going through a rebuilding phase?

[The Hog]

Utah is the best of these two teams right now.  They are moving the ball but can't find the pay dirt.  If the stick a few in, Michigan will be hurting.

[The Hog]

Nice catch.

[Bomis Hawg]

Both.  Some think Utah is better than BYU.  And, BYU could just as easily be someone who could be a BCS-buster.  Michigan just isn't there yet with the talent and this offense.

[Bomis Hawg]

That was a nifty catch by Greg Matthews.

[WindyCityHog]

I'm very impressed by Utah.  Their spread offense is awfully hard to defend.

The Big 10 once again looks like Ohio State and the other 10.

Probably.  I think Wisconsin will test the waters this year. 

[WindyCityHog]

Like every year....I think Illinois has a shot.

The Mizzou-Illini game tonight should be a good one.

[The Hog]

Michigan looks as though they do not have a clue what they are doing. 

Pick by Utah.

[Bomis Hawg]

I think I heard boo birds after that interception.

[SquidBilly]

Utah is for real this year.  If not for BYU getting all the pub as the BCS spoiler this year that label would have been firmly planted on Utah.  I don't think either team will lose a game until they meet in their annual rivalry game.

[Bomis Hawg]

Brian Johnson is a second year removed from a major injury.  He's looking sharp.

BYU plays Utah the last week of the season.  Utah has at Air Force and Oregon State at home.  BYU has Washington and UCLA the next two weeks.  It will be tough to sweep those two, plus playing at TCU.

It might be 10-1 BYU v. 11-0 Utah.

[Dwight_K_Shrute]

I'm very impressed by Utah.  Their spread offense is awfully hard to defend.

The Big 10 once again looks like Ohio State and the other 10.

Urban Meyer instituted a great system and philosophy there and Whittingham is doing a good job continuing it.  I would not want to be playing our first game against Utah either.

Also good to see Michigan getting handled by a non BCS school in the big house.  I wonder how RR will spin it if they lose.  Well last year we got beat by a 1-AA team.  So losing to MWC team and keeping it close is an improvement.

[The Hog]

Nice pass for a Utah TD.

[MS Razorback]

That was a pretty pass to end the half

[WindyCityHog]

TD Utah!

22-10.

Wow.

[Bubba's Bruisers]

Utah is giving Michigan all it can handle....and more.

Michigan is overrated...like every year.

[The Hog]

Utah 22 Michigan 10  Halftime.

[The Hog]

Wow!  Michigan starts the second half with a personal foul assessment.  They start in the hole.

[SquidBilly]

Mallett has to be enjoying this, I mean seeing Rodriguez getting beat not watching his former teammates losing.  Rodriguez is a tool and deserves to get this loss hung on him.  I just hate it for the players up there.  They deserve better.

[PositronHog]

Awesome. Down with Michigan.

Agreed, but then again if Michigan is no good then there is nobody left to beat Ohio St. and here we go again in the BCS National Championship Game?

[agr347]

Exactly.  They will probably end up being there by default.

[Bubba's Bruisers]

Exactly.  They will probably end up being there by default.

USC will be a major road block...hopefully.  I think the NC game will consist of OU vs. the winner of that game.

[PositronHog]

I hope not because OU has a fairly easy schedule this year. We need somebody in the NC game that has been tested so as to prevent the last 2 routes.

[drivetimeporks]

Michigan is overrated...like every year.

hmm..not really.. they may lose today but year in and out , theyre pretty damn good.... citrus bowl 2000 anyone ?

[SRFL]

Meatchicken sucks!  LMAO!


Threet is in?  And Mallett wasn't a good fit?  Thank you thank you thank you Professor DickRod.

[Bigfoot]

I don't think Rich Rodriguez is in Kansas anymore, Toto!

[BigSexyHog]

I like Michigan and always have.  I would have bet the house that they would have won today.  Kinda shocked to be honest with ya.

[The Hog]

Add 3 more for Utah.  25 - 10.  53 yards.

[Bigfoot]

Wow! This is crazy!                                                                                                                                                 

I wonder who the West Virginia folks are pulling for in this one?

Maybe so, but I'd rather see OU there than another overrated Little10 team.

[PositronHog]

Maybe so, but I'd rather see OU there than another overrated Little10 team.

Agreed

[cdhogfan]

Michigan deserves this.  How do you run a class act like Carr off for a guy like Rodriguez?

[The Hog]

25 - 10 4:00 left in the 3rd.

[Bigfoot]

Not sure why Carr got ran out of Michigan.

But this is what drove Rich Rodriguez out of West Virginia! 

[Idahog]

Utah is the perfect team to take down Michigan.  Hope they beat BYU also.

[WindyCityHog]

I'm with you on that one.  Utah is a damn good team.
