Sorry, but you didn't say "Low APR U might win," or "Low APR U will win if.." You said they WILL. You also said that Goff himself would beat Utah singlehandedly.

Oh, Yvonne, quit parsing other people's language so you can feel smug and superior. As someone here on the board once said.

OF is more than redemed in my view
Evidence keeps mounting that he's right about cal and that the big game may be for a whole lot of marbles
For one of the most insightful and balanced posters here, he sure gets a lot of cr@p

Evident to all that the guy's point was borne out

Well, you can at least see why I thought Ca.l would win.  Never fathomed Goff could throw five picks in a game and Kenny Lawler would drop balls he always catches.  But even with 6 total turnovers, Ca.l lost by 6 and was 21 yards from winning at the end.  Utah is a good team.  Low APR U is a good team.  A good team won.

I thought you held that Utah was overrated.

They are overrated.  But that doesn't mean they suck. The thing that stinks for Ca.l is they kind of demonstrated they are underrated, but tough to give much love to a team that gags on itself like the Bares did tonight.

Ironically OF, I tend to agree.  Utah does appear overrated.  Their best win was that great win over Michigan, but that was early in the season before EUTM had a chance to take hold.

I am not sure Utah will even win the Pac-12 South.  The win over Michigan was early.  The win over Oregon, clearly is not that impressive.  The win over UCB required 6 turnovers. 

FWIW - I tend to doubt UCB gets another win in October, but won't be too upset if they win those games.

I'm chomping at the bit for Big Game.  Our boys will road pave Low APR U's defense early, often, and all day

As close as Low APR U came, they still haven't had a quality WIN in the Yikes era.  Close only counts in horseshoes & hand grenades.

Kal lost the game but won my respect (well, within reason...). They are a legit contender to win the Pac-12 North.

I think this probably falls under the category of Woofing.  Furthermore, it seems like whistling through the graveyard to ignore the fact that the B.ears took Utah to the wall.  Utah was the team that had been shaping up to be our stiffest challenge.  And how many times during the Yikes era did his team suffer six TO's?  Probably not going to be something that we can expect going forward.

I would agree if the game were next week.  But there is six weeks less one day between now and the Big Game.  Lots of ups and downs for both teams between now and them.  Case in point, Stanford's ups: Stanford's offense has scored more points in every game this season than the game immediately prior, for four consecutive games (6, 31, 41, 42, 55).  When was the last time that happened?
