Utah rolls the rest of the way until....
I think Utah has finally turned the corner on their season.
So, I'm willing to predict that provided BJ stays healthy, that Utah will roll through the rest of their schedule, until and/or leading up to what should turn out to be a very fun showdown in Provo on November 24th. Which also happens to be my birthday.

I hope you are right.
You look at the schedule, and the only team that scares me is Utah...because I just don't know what team will show up. I certainly think that every game is winnable, Whit just has to rally the troops... UNM and Wyoming could be tough, but both are in SLC and Wyoming will be fresh of the BYU game (I think). It should be interesting to see how it all turns out. I'm also interested to see what TCU has in the tank next Thursday.

I just don't think TCU is very good this year....and the potential of Whit's teams pulling a McCrowtingham are still there.....I think for Whit to really show he's the coach the team needs is to see how well the team responds the rest of the way, and I don't mean just playing great against BYU, no offense, but I mean playing well the rest of the way and beating the teams they should...but also beating the teams they shouldn't. Beating UCLA and Louisville the way they did is kind of an indictment on the guy,,,,because there's just no way that team should lose to AFA and UNLV....even with injuries. So this stretch run will be a key to his tenure up there. I'm not saying he'll be fired if he sucks down the stretch,,,,but if they don't do well...it will certainly put him on in a do or die type of situation in 08.

With all of this being said, talent-wise and from how we've seen Utah play despite the major injuries, I think they have the potential to win the rest of their games. SDSU, TCU, NM, WYO, BYU, etc. , they are all winnable by the Utes.

They are, but will the real Ute team stand up?

The real Ute team is what you saw against USU and Louisville, IMO. That is a solid team but is likely to still drop 1 more at home and 1 more on the road before it heads to Provo.

Utah will lose to either WYO or UNM at home, and probably to TCU as well. Teams who get shut out by UNLV may turn corners, but the new street is not one of 5 game win streaks against the "stiff" competition of the MWC. Utah will be a better team than they have been, but they still aren't that good.
