RETURN OF THE BLOG

It's been a while. Tom Watson was making his run at the British Open and Oregon had yet to even begin football camp. The Cubs were in the pennant race and Michael Vick was still not in the NFL. But, alas here we are with our sweet looking website, a true ESPN affiliate. Quickie thought on Saturday's Duck win versus Purdue. The defense had some moments but I'm not yet on board with those calling the performances in the 1st two games excellent or outstanding. They came up large with the fumble return for a TD by Javes Lewis and the ensuing 3 & out which gave the offense a chance to take a lead they'd never relinquish. This Utah team may not be the caliber of the 2008 edition that nearly got a shot to play for the BCS title, but they're no slouches. Beware Utes QB Terrence Cain because this young fella is a player. He's mobile and possesses a pinpoint accurate arm. Both lines are solid and coach Kyle Wittingham has a heck of an overall program. I'd also like to express my joy over a 12:30 start because the past 2 weeks Justin Meyers and I have wrapped the post game in the wee hours.
Okay, we have some loot to give away on today's show. E-mail the correct response to the following question to stevetannen@live.com
Utah has beaten Utah State & San Jose State this season. They ran the table last year. In 2007 they took a 7 game winning streak into their finale at BYU but fell short in Provost 17-10. Who was the last team to beat Utah by more than a touchdown. Good luck!
