Three wins in Utah this week and a whole lot to talk about.
I break down Utah’s gritty road win at Wyoming—dominant defense (hello, John Henry Daly), red-zone hiccups, and a freshman kicking game that has me chewing nails—then pivot to a huge Texas Tech at Utah preview with Big Noon Kickoff in town. After that, it’s Utah State shocking Air Force behind Bryson Barnes’ five touchdowns and why bowl eligibility suddenly feels real in Year 1 under Bronco. We jump back into MLS with Real Salt Lake 2–1 Sporting KC—Diego Luna back on the sheet, playoff math, and why I still don’t trust the defense. Then it’s the Utah Mammoth rookie camp/showcase takeaways: why I’m bullish on the top-end prospects, what the bottom-six/bottom-four battles might look like, and how this front office is building with purpose. I close with early Borderlands 4 impressions (story/writing >>> BL3, fun gunplay, PC launch warts and all).
If you enjoy the show, share it with one friend who’d vibe with Utah sports and games. It helps more than you know. 💙
