Matt is back in The Matt Cave, and there is a lot to unpack in Utah sports this week. The Utah Mammoth are off to a strong start, BYU has a massive showdown with Notre Dame on deck, and Utah State somehow found a way to win a game that was anything but pretty.
The Utah Mammoth have looked like a legitimate force through the opening stretch of the NHL season. Matt breaks down the road trip against the Rangers, Devils, Bruins, and Sabres, examines the team's offensive firepower, and explains why Utah is starting to look like a wagon. But can this speed-driven team adjust when opponents manage to muck things up? And what should fans make of Karel Vejmelka's early-season performance?
On the college football side, Utah State escaped Washington State with a 17-16 win after a dominant defensive second half. Matt looks at what went right, what still needs work, and what awaits the Aggies down the road.
BYU picked up an impressive win over Iowa State, with Bear Bachmeier delivering a standout performance. But Matt has some questions about fourth-down decisions, punt returns, and the Cougars' passing offense as they prepare to face a highly ranked Notre Dame team. Can BYU pull off the upset, or are Cougar fans in for a long night?
Finally, Matt breaks down Utah's dominant performance against Kansas, the Utes' remaining schedule, and why the upcoming matchup with Houston could tell us a lot about how serious this team is as a contender. With the Holy War looming for both programs, the next few weeks could reshape the Big 12 race.
Plus, a quick look at Real Salt Lake's playoff outlook, because apparently the soccer gods aren't done testing everyone's patience.
Grab a seat, spelunkers. It's time to talk Utah sports.
