TBH I know nothing about Utah State this year.


Utah State has made a habit out of almost winning games against "name" opponents and losing by the skin of their teeth. Auburn in 2011, Wisconsin in 2012, and USC last year. They have a phenomenal QB in Chuckie Keeton, and I don't think it's controversial to say that the three teams I mentioned are better than we will be. That doesn't mean we'll lose for sure, but Utah State is hardly a game I'm taking for granted.

I think Butch has us on the right path too, enough to make us a good team again, but I'm also cognizant of the fact that it's going to take time. The program was in an abysmal situation following the combo Kiffin/Dooley fiascos. It can be fixed, but just not overnight.

What's the time table for Butch? When do you want to see noticeable improvements? Divisional championships? SEC titles? Nattys even?

Do you believe he is that guy to bring UT to the promised land? Or will the next one clean up with help from Butches recruiting (which has been remarkable)

That is a very apt depiction of USU. They have a stout defense, although Tennessee's OLine will be the matchup advantage that could prove to be too much for them. Keeton is still a question mark as well with his first game back from injury, but if he is 100%, he could give you issues. Kind of like a poor man's Mariota.
