NCAA - Week 8

Updates on week 8 games:

• Sorry BYU...you blew it. I really wanted to see them do well. I know you all think Mike is just a Ute but that is not true. You see, I didn't grow up in Utah so I am ok with rooting for both BYU and Utah (both excellent universities). Back to BYU, they got shocked early and could not recover...surprising they couldn't recover, knowing how Bronco always has a counter-attack. I guess that is the test of a great team. My pre-game prediction was 28-30, having TCU win, but I really wanted to see better offense out of BYU. The boys in blue are very blue this week.
• Utah had a solid performance beating Colorado State 49-16. I liked the consistent play by Utah's defense (although they couldn't slow down the run in the 3rd quarter). I can safely say the offense played 3 of the 4 quarters very well. We have now completed 2/3 of the season and 8-0 sounds really good. Our rank went up a bit to #11...not bad. Thanks to my sister, I got free tickets for Aly and I on the 45 yard line...last home game I will see in a few years.
• Boise State is right behind us at #12, GO Broncos. TCU is proving their skills and ranked #14. I believe that game will be the test of the year for the Utes...glad we play them at Rice-Eccles.
