I believe that Martzen's recent tweets have alluded to another good transfer that would be coming on board. Not sure when or position.

Fact: Since joining the PAC Utah's schedule has been harder than BYU's consistently.
Fact: 2014 schedule for Utah will be MUCH MUCH harder (top10) than BYUs (110?).
Fact: 2014 schedule for Utah may be its toughest ever and certainly in the last 3 years.
Fact: Utah has not been to a bowl game since joining the PAC.
Fact: Utahs recruiting has NOT improved since joining the PAC--and could arguable be getting worse since being in the PAC should attract some of the State of Utah talent, but is not. They are losing ground.
Fact: Losing records and no bowl games are hurting recruiting.

Fact: Utah does not have BYU to beat up and mitigate the negative press that will overwhelm this program in 2014.

Probability-
Utah will have its worse year in 2014 and likely lose its coach and/or have him in the hot seat for the following year thus creating a huge perception of instability and the probability of a new coaching regime in the next year or two.

Conclusion--Utah now wears the proverbial "Golden Handcuff" and touts its cash (are they full financial payees YET?) but frets its losing record and laments its lack of bowl games.

A reinforcing downward spiral. Enjoy it for now Cougar fans. And careful what you ask for. if BYU joins the Big 12 it will follow likewise. Losing record, no bowls, and diminished recruiting. BUT HEY--WE will have the cash, won't we? :roll:
From ESPN pertaining to preseason SoS prognostication......I love a good schedule, but I am not envious. If I were KW I would hang on this tweet for his annual review.

Utah number 1 with a total of 4 PAC 12 schools in Top 10. That is 1/3 of their conference. Expect to see Stanford stumble slightly and Utah, Washington State, and CAL get crushed.

Anae just might be the guy. Wisconsin DC says Anae is totally unpredictable because he just runs a bunch of plays with no rhyme or reason. Whooped Butt on Houston DC for 3 of 4 quarters. Destroyed Texas DC and HC careers.

Well we are playing one of those top 10 schedules. Our little contribution to Cal's SOS.

This is why Utah scheduled Michigan instead of BYU. They wanted to make sure they were ranked number 1.

I guess if you plan on having a losing record may as well build in an excuse for losing!

Maybe they're transitioning to an FCS school. Isn't that what they do, schedule tough money games and then lose ?
