How can this team be ranked so high? There play calling and quarterback remind me of the Vikings and Tavarias Jackson. This guy can't throw and it seems like the coaching staff knows it and dummies down the playbook.

Utah is a decent team and should be ranked...I think the thing most are missing is that Oregon St is turning into a very scrappy no give up type of team who is covering the spread. I see riding the Beavers the rest of the season could be profitable. I was one who thought they'd come out a bit flat. I thought the defense played way over their heads against SC, but they are proving to be solid and proving most of us wrong. I can see people going against them week after week waiting for that one game they get hammered, but they'll probably keep covering the spread.
Yeah, I had Utah tonight and never in a million years did I see this scenario playing out. I'm amazed they're laying an egg at home against an inferior opponent. If they lose at home to frigging Oregon State I may just have to stop betting on college football. :mj07:
The only excuse that might make sense is that they just played last Saturday, whereas OSU played last Thursday. But yeah, there's no way in hell they should have struggled at home against this team.

Looks like Utes might lose SU!! I am convinced now that OreSt is a good team! They'll be going bowling....Pac-10 isn't that good, so they'll get some wins.
OreSt QB tonight....21-29/313 yds/2 TD's!! Not bad for a tough road game when expected to lose by 2 TD's.
Just my opinion, but I think this win by OSU might be more impressive than the win against SC. The SC win was at home with the whole nation watching, and people tend to forget that SC played an absolutely horrible game.
A road win against a better opponent is more impressive to me than a home win against an even better opponent.
I still don't think they're nearly as good as they've played the last two weeks. And although they've played well, their opponents have laid major eggs. This is still the team that lost to Stanford and got trounced by Penn State. Time will tell if the Beavs prove me wrong.

Watch Penn St lose to Purdue this weekend and then what do we think? I don't think so though...Nitts gonna roll!!!
See, this is exactly what I mean. NOW that the game is on the line, the Utes have no problem marching down the field and scoring a TD in less than a minute. Where was that effort earlier? I really don't think Utah showed up tonight. No focus, no intensity, nothing. If they played like they did the last couple of minutes this game wouldn't have even been close IMO.
Wow...Utah just came back! Tied up! This could actually be a big deflation for Oregon St if they lost this SU now. Should be interesting...
if ore state somehow doesn't cover this game i'll end up on CNN tonight for doing something really crazy!
Fug Utah. They sleepwalk through the first 58 minutes, and now they're going to score a TD and a FG in the last 2 to win in regulation. Or will it be 2 TDs? Fuk these a-holes. I hope they somehow lose outright... but it won't happen.
Ballgame. Worst possible scenario. Utah doesn't cover but they end up winning outright. They deserved to lose.
I know I wasn't really worried, I've gambled enough to not be worried that much... then again, I've gambled enough to worry about stupid shit happening
great result, utah by 3, perfect for my wallet and my fan-hood, if thats a word
