The Utah loss is not all that shocking. Utah beat byu and this Utah state team when it was healthy and Utah beat a dang good Stanford team. Utah played a very tough schedule this year
Utah played their first 6 games in the state of Utah, and went 4-2 then played their final 4 of 6 outside of the state of Utah and went 1-5.
They are in the Pac12, every year is a tough schedule now.
And USU choked that game away. They should have beaten Utah.
USU got scared against the Utes and the Cougars.
I really don't see how they lost those games.
And, even though USU is losing a bunch of senior starters, they return some juniors that are ready to start. They will be fine, they are still Gary Anderson recruits.
USU should easily be the favorite to win the MTN division next season.
Especially considering their MWC games are AFA, NM, SJSU, and UNLV at home and on the road they play Boise, CSU, Hawaii, and Wyo.
They should easily go 6-2 or 7-1 in MWC play. They get teams like Tennessee and Wake Forest early in the schedule, and in reality should win both games. And Idaho State and Arky State and BYU.
USU should win 10+ next year, if not 12.
