PrintThe Mountain West is looking to go 3-0 in their bowl season so far, and tonight features Utah who has done a great job in a rebuilding year while Cal is an up and down team that realistically beat Utah by 15 or lose by 15 just depends who shows up.
Scouts, Inc. gives a slight edge to Utah in this game, but not sure how the linebacker spot is better on Cal then Utah, but what do I really know. They also have the Utes winning 23-17 which would extend their bowl winning streak to nine.

Cal not wanting to be there!!
Come on!! Call them inconsistent not bored. Plus they just gave up 24 straight, any team would not want to be there if that happened to them
These announcers aren't exactly on their "A" game.
Well, when you can’t figure out the difference between a 2-yard and a 12-yard completion, then refer to Utah’s defense as Cal’s defense, I hope it’s not your “A” game.

Eh. Mike Patrick is getting old. I think that is his "A" game.
He’s made similar mistakes in other games I’ve seen him do this season.
Simple solution:
Patrick v. Lundquist – DEATHMATCH!!!

agreed
also going into the tunnel, Heather Cox asked him what they’ve done differently on defense.
You could tell that Whit took umbrage. Not verbatim, but he said, "We’ve only given up seven points. The others came from a pick six so that’s no on the defense."

Somebody please teach the announcers how the AQ process works.
There’s no decision about divvying money vs. cutting out a different conference if the MWC gets the AQ. The rules are already set.
Coupled with Wyoming's freshman QB, it's a nice thing to see for the conference.

Also if BYU's frosh QB Jake Heaps
Lives up to the hype of the number one QB in HS

After watching BYU last night, it's safe to say that
BYU’s offense >>>>>> Cal’s offense.
by David Hooper on Dec 23, 2009 7:18 PM PST up reply actions
defense is pretty good.
well except on that last play

Unfortunately, it's a one-score game again.
Thanks to that penalty calling the one touchdown back and having to settle for a field goal, Utah has left 11 points on the field this half.
That is not called enough.
You see the halo violated lots of times. Glad they got that one.

never calls a fair catch and caught Utah 3 times on that penalty
by Jeremy Mauss on Dec 23, 2009 7:50 PM PST up reply actions
Really!!
Trying that play again. So Wildcat 1st down, that pass on 2nd, so Wynn needs to save the day on 3rd down.
Craig James is an idiot!!
How does the MWC get challenged each week they only play their league. The bottom is not great but neither is the ACC or Big East or even Big 10
Ok, now I will.
3 kneeldowns and party.

How big was that Wyoming win?
At 3-0, the talking heads are going off on how good the MWC conference is. If it’s 2-1 and a Wyoming loss, it’s all about how good the top three of the conference are. There are still two to go, but as of today, the rhetoric is about the whole conference, which is where the MWC really wants it to be.
Come on, Zoomies!
