It is finally here!!! The time of year that I can't wait for and what a bitter sweet opening weekend it was. First we started of with the Utes beating Utah State in a fun game to watch. Both teams were a little sloppy at certain parts, but overall it was a good first game. I wasn't suprised that Utah won, but there were a few things that stood out as really exciting. First I am very impressed with our wide recievers, we have a strong group and the reports that we have been hearing seem to be true. Second Terrence Cain had an impressive first showing, I realize that the opponent wasn't anything special, but he proved to me why he won the job. There were a couple of plays that he saw his first target was covered so he just started running instead of checking the rest of his recievers, but that will come with time. Third, I have to admit that I was glad to see Utah State put up a good fight. That first drive was a real eye opener and they kept fighting from the beginning. Give them a few years and Gary Anderson is really going to have them looking good. Maybe they will be able to challenge Boise State for the title.
Yes I do have to mention BYU and yes they did beat Oklahoma on Saturday night in the new Dallas Stadium and on ESPN! One has to wonder if they would have had a chance if Sam Bradford didn't go down at the end of the half though. My thoughts are that they wouldn't have, but I guess that is why we play the game. If Bradford and the starting TE are both out for a couple of weeks you can probably count on Oklahoma losing again soon, but for now we have to give a little credit to the Y. They did hold their own during the first half....er at least the defense did. They were flying all over the field and made some great stops. The offense was terrible. Fumbles, Interceptions, Sacks.....The defense kept them in the game. For now they have a win on the board and we have to look forward to Florida State.
