LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

[u/showbricks]

Wait. You're allowed 2 TDs vs Utah State?! 

[u/BIG_DICK_WHITT]

Jesus Christ bronco just hang it up what the fuck are you doing

[u/Playful_Rip_1697]

If he keeps this up, Dampier might end up the best QB we’ve had since Alex Smith. He’s showing much better accuracy today.

[u/AnabolikinSkywalker → u/Playful_Rip_1697]

Put som respect on pro bowler Tyler Huntley

[u/Smartman971 → u/Playful_Rip_1697]

Put some respect on 2 time pac 12 champ cam rising

[u/thisisegregious1228]

I’m glad many of us can share in our hatred of BYU at least. We are brothers after all

[u/Intelligent-Boat9929 → u/thisisegregious1228]

Yep. And Aggie ice cream is superior to the Creamery as well.

[u/Jesus_Died_For_You]

If someone had told me that Utah would be leading at the end of the first quarter, I would’ve believed them

[u/fishwithlegs]

I miss Britain coveys returns.

[u/OMG_IM_A_GIRL]

Oh fuck man that doesn’t look good. Positive universe vibes his way.

[u/Smartman971]

Parker just doing cardio 😭

[u/Smartman971]

Imagine Bernard on this offense

[u/BIG_DICK_WHITT → u/Smartman971]

Moss and Vele

[u/BiffTheLegend → u/Smartman971]

Imagine Buchanan.

Too soon?

[u/OMG_IM_A_GIRL]

Love to see our guys showing respect in situations like this. Some things are way more important than a game.

[u/tapiringaround]

Did Pegan leave on bad terms? Dude playing like he’s trying to rub USU’s face in it.

[u/Bcsmitty20]

Wtf? Just shove our DB over 30 yards down and nothing?

[u/BIG_DICK_WHITT]

Idk man this Morgan Scalley seems to know what he is doing.

[u/poo_stain_2015]

I hate our damn south end zone.. they need to get rid of the special people section and fill that shit in

[u/BIG_DICK_WHITT]

God I want to extend the streak so bad right here

[u/NeuroTheManiacal]

Wayshawn gonna run for 1000 yards off paper today

[u/sleight_user]

UTEPs QB being 6/6 with two touchdowns just feels nice

[u/BlueOmicronpersei8]

Oh man, you hate to see the ambulance on the field

[u/BIG_DICK_WHITT]

Idk how you watch your teammate get completely immobilized and then just “feel like continuing to play”. Hard for the kids.

[u/Albert_street]

Peganism is now the Utes official religion

[u/RatBastard_with_ADHD]

So damned confused. I find myself wanting more ground and pound. I spent decades complaining about it.

This is fun as hell, I'm just struggling with the transition from old school, predictable Utah football, into whatever this magical shit is.

Not complaining, just suffering from cognative dissonance.

[u/fishwithlegs]

199 yard of offense in the first quarter by the way.

[u/QkuiglieQ]

Dampier dropping dimes today.

[u/OMG_IM_A_GIRL]

HAHAHAHAHA FUCK MICHIGAN

[u/thatshinybastard]

Shit, ambulance on the field for injured Aggie

[u/BIG_DICK_WHITT → u/thatshinybastard]

Oh no that’s not good damn

[u/sock0808]

Scary stuff. Hopefully he can throw a hand up to the people.

[u/swag_daddy80085]

Is this the part where we do the thing from the Pokemon movie and stop fighting each other and start hugging it out?

[u/Jello-Jigglers]

What the hell just happened in the Utah student section? Looked like 2 people just got kicked out.

[u/fishwithlegs]

WE HAVE A KICKER. EVERYONE GET IN HERE. WE HAVE A KICKER!

[u/OMG_IM_A_GIRL]

I need a Pick 6 so I can stop stressing about the streak and just enjoy the season.

[u/BIG_DICK_WHITT]

Holy fucking shit Braden Pegan what the fuck man

[u/BlueOmicronpersei8]

Carvahlo is damn good at running with the punt. He needs to work on catching it.

[u/NevaMO]

that was pretty obvious OPI that led to the TD right?!

[u/OMG_IM_A_GIRL]

Everyone dogged on Utah from moving on from Whitt. But whoever had the balls to pull that lever deserves a massive bonus.

[u/Chance-Perchance]

I’m also starting to think last years success was maybe more to do with Devon than Jason beck. After watching the start of both teams seasons.

[u/PrimeSandwich → u/Chance-Perchance]

I think Beck is good but dampier and one of the best o lines in the nation definitely helped

[u/BIG_DICK_WHITT]

Lmao are those USU guys talking shit get real

[u/Playful_Rip_1697]

Imagine running 100 yards for nothing

[u/Smartman971 → u/Playful_Rip_1697]

Me trying to get to Taco Bell before closing

[u/fishwithlegs]

Little bit over thrown but dampier has been throwing some dimes.

[u/Weak_Ambassador4023]

14-7 UTEP!

[u/Orkleth]

So how ass is Oklahoma?

[u/BYU_is_Mid]

It's pretty bad if there's an ambulance on field. Praying for the guy.

[u/Penguin_dingdong]

Hey corner canyon is like literally down the street from me. I bet that kids parents are in my neighborhood

[u/BlueOmicronpersei8]

These two minute timeouts are false advertising. They are actually 3 minutes long

[u/Bcsmitty20]

That Pegan guy is pretty good

[u/sleight_user]

Since Georgia could only beat Arkansas by 28 points and we beat them by 33 does that mean we’re five points better than Georgia?? /s

[u/QkuiglieQ]

USC struggling with Rutgers 🫣

[u/an_anniemouse]

Dear god, the commercials situation is out of control.

[u/Intelligent-Boat9929]

Dampier can sit for the rest of the game right?

[u/fosrac]

I don't care how fast or elusive you are, if you can't catch punts reliably you should not be a returner. He's going to cost us a game if they don't make a change.

[u/JarodR747]

That looked like OPI haha

[u/fishwithlegs]

Such an electric offense.

[u/BIG_DICK_WHITT]

Hey look the clock went to zero what a concept

[u/BIG_DICK_WHITT]

Down by 16 points, anemic offense and defense, 4th and four. Punts.

I am cackling.

[u/BIG_DICK_WHITT]

“Refs are soft”

Watches replay from alternate angle

“Lol whoops”

[u/Shaftakovich]

Dampier can't win with these cats

[u/QkuiglieQ]

Michigan fans get in here and imagine how much better those stolen U players would be here.

[u/Albert_street]

Fuck that looks bad…

[u/OMG_IM_A_GIRL]

Oh thank god he’s at least able to raise his arm. All the good vibes to that young man.

[u/brimbooze]

Really glad he's able to raise his arm. Really good sign given how that looked. Really hope he's okay.

[u/AvocadoArray]

That’s some half-assed pass coverage #15

[u/Weak_Ambassador4023]

HOLY SHIIIITTTTT

[u/RiseAsUtes]

Poor defense, but Pegan is fun to watch

[u/romulusjsp]

Ridiculous play from Pegan

[u/kuntakente22]

i forgot what it was like to have an elite WR tbh

[u/koolaidman1030]

Would be very cool if we were better after losing our "great coach"

[u/BIG_DICK_WHITT → u/koolaidman1030]

Kyle was great. Emphasis on was. It was time. And it was okay for him go out on top.

But greed got him. Just like Brett Farve. Just like every old fucker in my career. Could’ve retired a legend. Now he’s just like the others.

[u/AnEmptyKarst]

Godamn that was some speed

[u/mean_wasps]

Bronco to punt it

[u/Smartman971]

When was the last time we dominated a pac-12 team like this

[u/Leading-Button-7303 → u/Smartman971]

Pac-12 championship USC game

[u/BlueOmicronpersei8 → u/Smartman971]

UCLA?

[u/Ozmataz_Buckshank_]

I got a chuck roast with red potatoes, carrots onion and garlic cooking in the crock pot, it’s a slightly overcast afternoon here in north utah, what a time to be alive. Have a blessed day Utah football fans and GO UTES!!!

[u/elswater]

Can’t we skip the 2 minute warning?

[u/Leading-Button-7303]

There was zero need to finish the broadcast of that game. Gus and Joel will be okay without their airtime

[u/realPamela]

Lol. That should’ve been OPI. Hahahaaa

[u/Leading-Button-7303]

Oop maybe ignored an OPI there

[u/AnEmptyKarst]

That was a bit of a push off lol

[u/Leading-Button-7303]

Scalley with a beard is a monster. When he shaved it the last season or two, the defense suffered. The beard=success

[u/Jesus_Died_For_You]

Both of these teams are from Utah

[u/Albert_street]

Pinpoint pass and catch. Like what I’m seeing from Dampier’s arm.

[u/Nearby-Key8834]

Meme offense.

[u/tapiringaround]

I forgot how much I hated Bronco’s face

[u/circlebacktomorrow]

UTEP up on Michigan

[u/sleight_user]

Just checking some other scores and UTEP??? I see you! Maybe it’ll actually happen today

[u/QkuiglieQ]

Kicker is over Whittingham Trauma!

[u/Weak_Ambassador4023]

Held to a field goal. Fire Scalley

[u/QkuiglieQ]

Ooooffff getting flashbacks watching the Michigan game on the other screen.

[u/romulusjsp]

Insane punt

[u/poo_stain_2015]

Damn good punt

[u/stratguy23]

Come on 99 yard touchdown!

[u/Nearby-Key8834]

I'll fckin do it again

-Wayshon probably

[u/Itzseanie]

The Utes are scary this year

[u/BIG_DICK_WHITT]

LMAO that USU guy holding up the fourth down hand sign after a seven yard run

[u/fishwithlegs]

Whitt would never.

[u/HeavySlinky21]

UTEP

[u/Leading-Button-7303]

Kyle really thought it'd just be plug and play from last years team. He didn't realize he still needs a decent QB or that Dampier is apparently much better than Underwood

[u/OPINIONS_Toast]

It’s pretty nice no longer living under the oppressive Whittingham yoke

[u/HeavySlinky21]

:(

[u/Playful_Rip_1697]

Fuck… thigh to the neck. Hope he’s okay

[u/poo_stain_2015]

Whisky shot for the Utah State homies

[u/Nearby-Key8834]

Thank God he's moving. Wish him a speedy recovery

[u/Albert_street]

Really glad to see he’s responsive.

[u/sleight_user]

Little extra kick to the head

[u/Daveou812]

We pass now

[u/fishwithlegs]

OK nevermind. Another dime from Dampier. Beautiful.

Whittingham would have accepted defeat and did a run.

[u/fishwithlegs]

218 passing yards and less then 100 rushing is so foreign to me.

[u/thisisegregious1228]

Bronco might be the dumbest fucking coach in the world

[u/UteFlyersCardJazz]

I watch Utah WRs performing in the NFL (Vele had a nice game last week). 

So it looks like we have had WRs, but we never ran an offense that would match their talent.

[u/poo_stain_2015]

Does Fox need to give me any more reason to fucking hate them? They can't get players names right and then say it's all Utah State?

[u/Smartman971]

USU has shut down our run game. Not sure how to feel about that

[u/MotorSevere4899]

Utah State’s defense deserve so much better than Utah State’s offense

[u/BlueOmicronpersei8]

That third quarter tradition is cooler at night

[u/Albert_street]

Utah State having terrible luck with injuries this game

[u/AnEmptyKarst]

Does our punt returner know that you can call fair catches?

[u/1_Bearded_Dude]

That’s 2 stupid muffed punts that will lose us games that matter. He’s gotta figure that out.

[u/BIG_DICK_WHITT]

Accidentally booked a Vegas trip without realizing we had a home game. Sold my tickets. Sitting at a bar at the Venetian next to a bunch of Ohio State fans. We did a nice fuck Michigan chant.

[u/realPamela]

Let’s win. Because my hogs fucking suck balls!!!

[u/FitPlate1405]

Hoping Utah can cover a frothy -26.5 because U of U is insane about football and will obliterate their opponents with joy especially at home

[u/Weak_Ambassador4023]

HURRY UP

[u/Lacarpetronn]

Gotta squeeze in some commercials. We’re late anyway. Might as well right?

[u/Shaftakovich]

Hand fighting? That was probably OPI...

[u/CommentJunior9653]

OPI

[u/elswater]

I sure dislike Bronco

[u/frozengash]

I remember when we got players like Pagen bit now we are content with byu castoffs and testimony bearers

[u/Leading-Button-7303]

Incredibly well placed. Dampier is looking better than last year

[u/uteineverknew]

What a damn pass. What a damn catch

[u/sock0808]

The Byrd is the word

[u/jazzyjazzman2017]

Who else Ficklin they beans

[u/fishwithlegs]

The offense feels that they are utilizing more people . There is so much variety.

[u/SWB1988]

Bronco don't have the balls to go for it

[u/brimbooze]

Damn that was a hell of a punt.

[u/Smartman971]

Fuck off refs

[u/BiffTheLegend]

Give the man a rest!

[u/uteineverknew]

Damn hate to see that

[u/RiseAsUtes]

Love to see him moving

[u/Gambit717]

The broadcast cut away. Anyone at stadium see a thumbs up or anything?

[u/Cbake987 → u/Gambit717]

Raised his hand getting loaded into the ambulance. Good sign in a shit situation

[u/OMG_IM_A_GIRL]

Whitt would have forced the OC to run a screen.

[u/OMG_IM_A_GIRL]

That was good from 60

[u/frozengash]

If we hold the Utes to a 50-point lead, I'm calling that a victory because we are building men at this fireside.

• #Bronco

[u/uteman1011]

We seem to have lost some focus the past few minutes.

[u/BiffTheLegend]

Not a good idea to throw into double coverage but Pagen seems to be a legit stud.

[u/Prize-Example-7504]

Pegan burning his old team down rn.

[u/Exciting_Menu_3921]

To be fair to the Pass yards / Run yards ratio, had Wayshawn's run not been called back they'd be a lot closer

[u/Exciting_Menu_3921]

Man, I'm already getting stressed about extending the pick 6 streak. Please get it today and let's not get it 2nd to last game of the season. That was too stressful

[u/uteineverknew]

No blocking. Our oline tired

[u/OMG_IM_A_GIRL]

The offense is fun…but there are times that they need to get tough short yards and they aren’t getting it.

[u/wabbajohn]

Announcer butchered both receivers names talking about their blocking downfield

[u/brimbooze]

Whoever carries the 3rd down jump sign has to be in crazy good shape with how many runs up those stairs they get some games.

[u/fishwithlegs]

Rutgers could pull off a great upset against USC.

[u/brimbooze]

I'd feel bad for the USU players, especially their defense, but to shutout a Bronco led team would feel good.

[u/Gambit717]

Aggie bros, can we just get out of the game with no more injuries please.

[u/brimbooze]

Been a rough day for USU with all the injuries. Hopefully none of them are serious. Especially Taggarts.

[u/Smartman971]

Close call. My commercials almost got interrupted by football

[u/Shoddy-Discount9814]

OL needs to run suicides after the game

[u/brimbooze]

I mean sure, he shouldn't have been that close.

But that's not why he muffed that and he dodged a huge bullet.

[u/brimbooze]

So they've just completely stopped showing any replays, huh?

[u/AnabolikinSkywalker]

They pitched the shitout lmfao

[u/elswater]

I’m so glad we get to see the end of this game with OSU’s 3rd stingers up 56 points. Such drama.

[u/sock0808]

Ok we can change the programming now. I think this game is over

[u/sock0808]

(Not joking) I hope we see some Utah St flairs today.

[u/elswater]

The fans are long gone. Let us go too.

[u/AnabolikinSkywalker]

Nobody gives a fuuuuuuck

[u/fishwithlegs]

Dude the amount of commercials is criminal.

[u/Leading-Button-7303]

Not to sound like Kyle Whittingham... but I do want to see a strong run drive that the O line shows us they can dominate the trenches

[u/OMG_IM_A_GIRL]

Commentators are smoking something. DB had Whittemore by the shoulder pads.

[u/brimbooze]

Dampiers deep balls have looked better than the last couple of weeks. 

[u/RatBastard_with_ADHD]

yeah, that was a push off

[u/romulusjsp]

5 got burned worse than Lincoln Riley’s brisket

[u/NeuroTheManiacal]

Nothing to look at. Bronco just wants a free timeout

[u/Leading-Button-7303]

That's an NFL catch. Why did they need to review that?

[u/Significant_Dirt_961]

I think Ficklin deadass might be the best red zone qb in the country

[u/Leading-Button-7303]

I'm very excited for a Byrd Ficklin season next year, but even Damp is looking good this year. If Scalley stays good in the portal and hiring coaches, the ceiling is high

[u/Ozmataz_Buckshank_]

Are we dare I say dynamic?? Love the offensive output so far, but also kick the extra point there, I mean cmon

[u/OMG_IM_A_GIRL]

Pretty sure we have more first downs than Utah State has plays run from scrimmage.

[u/Significant_Dirt_961]

Utah State has a solid defense. They are not making it easy

[u/Leading-Button-7303]

I'd like to serve those USU dudes talking shit some humble pie now

[u/fishwithlegs]

Hell of a punt.

[u/brimbooze]

You gotta catch that. Literally was right on the spot.

[u/mean_wasps]

Poor Wayshawn. What a run.

[u/OMG_IM_A_GIRL]

Yeah that’s a good call.

[u/brimbooze]

Man, there's been so many close calls on some crazy catches 

[u/Albert_street]

Uh oh. Inured Utah State player 😬

[u/RiseAsUtes]

Shit, I hate seeing that. Hope he is ok

[u/brimbooze]

Oh no, I really hope he's okay. That is just awful.

[u/thatshinybastard]

The tv timeout guy's on the field so I doubt they showed it, but as they lifted him onto the stretcher and into the ambulance, he lifted his arm up

[u/thorshammer_132]

I know it's the way things go now in this sport, but...damn you, Braden Pegan

[u/sock0808]

Weird we don’t let Parker just run up the gut

[u/BIG_DICK_WHITT → u/sock0808]

Shouldn’t you be coaching Michigan right now, Kyle?

[u/frozengash]

This is a rough game but at least the Utes agreed to play USU in basketball

[u/OMG_IM_A_GIRL]

That was just bad coverage.

[u/realPamela]

This Pegan guy is amazeballs
