David Marsh No. 3 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Harmon doesn't know the Ducks and the Oregon season to date. Which is fair, I haven't watched every Utah game. However... anyone who knows about the Oregon-Stanford game knows Oregon was without Moorhead, the final call of regulation was incredibly dubious from a reffing perspective and the Stanford team that Oregon played was VASTLY different than the team that Utah played. Stanford is down to their 4th string QB now, or close to it, and for a team that is light on scholarship players as it is they are deep in their reserves right now. Utah's rush defense isn't as good as it has been in the past. So can Utah bottle up an Oregon offense that is stopping teams that are rushing the entire front 7 and still finding success? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven A Moderator No. 5 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Per the article, "Yet, Utah is favored by three points by folks who make a living predicting that kind of stuff." NO, that is the bookmakers trying to get even money on both sides! 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok.. that was SUPER LAME (even for my standards)... but yeah you're right not much you can do with Utah and the Utes. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
