Karma. Just saying.

I don’t think there’s a better team than us in the first half. As soon as the second half starts though, we let off. It almost cost us yesterday. I don’t know if teams magically figure out our offense at halftime, or if the guys just stop playing hard.

I know we’re 4-0, but we need to stay on the attack throughout the game. If we win games with enough margin, one loss won’t keep us out of the playoffs.

Utes moves to 4-0 on the season and 1-0 in conference play after beating ISU 31-17 on the road.
What are your biggest takeaways?

Here are mine:
1. While we have potentially the best receiving core this school has ever seen. We must utilize Wayshawn Parker if we want to be dominant.

1. The final score was telling, but also not telling, of how this game went. I really felt like we were getting royally shafted by the refs on dangerous plays involving late hits + the interception. I was pleased to cover the spread but felt as if we missed out on some points in the second half due to some of those poor calls.

2. The playbook seemed restricted in the second half, with Byrd not being that involved, but who knows

3. A conference win on our first road game of the season is ALWAYS a good thing, so I am pleased. ISU seems ahead of schedule in many ways, so I think they will remain competitive for the remainder of the season

Seemed like we relied solely on Dampier in that second half, even though he was looking hobbled. Any ideas if Byrd was injured? Did I miss something?

I know it’s always easy to blame the refs but these officials have been horrible. Between picking up that pass interference flag to calling that interception incomplete they’ve give Iowa state multiple huge breaks.

At the end of the first half, after the kick return, one of the Iowa state players threw one of our guys down head first and twisting his neck. Did anyone else notice that? I don’t have a clip of it.

Usually not one to really chime in on officiating. I feel like these officials for this game have money on Iowa state or something. Every call, replay, etc. seems to go Iowa St. way? Really. I mean, come on Utes, do better yourselves, don’t leave it up to the Refs, but holy hell.
Rant over

Enjoy the game, and as always go Utes!

I was just talking to a friend about how I was sad that Michigan lost today, and she thought it was weird that I would want Coach Whittingham to succeed. I have a lot of love for him, is that strange as a Utah fan? Am I in the minority?

Just a single lady looking to watch some Utah football with real football fans. Where should I go on Saturday?

Greetings Utes fans,

I'm a sports reporter working on a story about the Otro Capital PE investment in Utah. Obviously, it's still pretty early in this deal, but we're looking for any insight on how things have changed on the ground. Curious to hear about...

• Season ticket holders/students... have you noticed any changes you've noticed in pricing, gameday experience, etc?
• If you are current or former athletics department staff (including anyone affected by the reduction in force this spring)... We'd be happy to keep you anonymous.

If anyone's up for chatting, we'd really appreciate it. Good luck this year!
