Nobody wants to hear their narrative is tired and old. Fans who don’t know anything about the program will continue to blame Whit for a problem he fixed years ago.

This would be such a terrible backup DT rotation. Kaufusi is a 286 pound freshman and Lea’ea is 271 pounds. That’s absolutely abysmal for DT. Can we really not take any more portal DT’s? Because we are royally screwed along the D-line imo.

One of the reasons you could make these projections without any “ors” is because our depth is so thin. In the past, at least ½ the positions had an or at the first string or the second string. I think we can have a respectable team this year IF we can remain injury-free at the positions where we have the least depth.

I would argue your assessment if Wilson didn’t have average speed and a unbearable fear of contact. Combine that with Wilson’s below average passing skills and you had defenses stacking the line to stop an average run game. If Dampier lives up to the hype and one RB has a breakout season… It could make Utah great again.

Rangum,
I can tell you with certainty that what you’ve heard about Scalley wanting Arbuckle as number one choice is false. He liked Arbuckle and would have supported the hire but he wanted Whittingham to interview Beck from the start and when Arbuckle “used” the Utah position to get Oklahoma Whittingham agreed to bring in Beck.

The second guy…[Read more]

I think Garcia will be the first lineman off the bench regardless of position. He’s cross trained at multiple positions this spring including center.

I think Dillon has the potential to be a star at Utah. He’s a candidate to have a breakout year. I’m very bullish on him.

Kanai’s length is a problem for QB’s in passing situations. With another g…[Read more]

The only reason the offense struggled the last two seasons is because of injuries.

During the two Pac12 championships and Rose Bowls Cam was healthy and the offense was a juggernaut under Ludwig

If Dampier stays healthy with the talent around him especially in the Oline Beck and him will make the O prolific and Whit goes down as one of the…[Read more]

I’ve been there a few times, and you should absolutely go, especially if you’ve never been there before. SW South Dakota is unlike the other parts of the state, and the landscape reminds me of Switzerland. I highly recommend visiting Spearfish Canyon and Deadwood if you do get up there.

Maybe…but I feel this team is closer to 7-5 than they are 9-3.

There are a few things going against ’em that concern me:

1. Opening on the road vs UCLA. This is a game that I think Utah can win and will likely dictate the season. But as of right now, Vegas puts Utah only as a three-point favorite.

It’s going to be a toss-up and Utah doesn’t…[Read more]

I’m projecting Hall to make a Devin Lloyd type leap from 1st to 2nd year and with his throw game skills should allow Snowden to move outside since the nickel won’t be as necessary.

Working 40 hours a week as a seasonal water worker for a city and 20 hours at Chipotle to pay for college! But my parents are inviting me to go to the Black Hills this summer so it should be fun.

I think he’s better at RT. He’s played it forever. My son trained with him a bit in HS at Tuni Kanuch’s training center. His skills are elite and he’s been doing the one on ones a long time.

Butters,
A couple of questions for you. Garcia at center is new information to me – not that I had any insider knowledge. I’ve assumed he’d be our next great tackle. Is he a tackle-in-waiting who gets playing time backing up Kump at center or is he going to be our center of the future? Do you know?

Dillon over Fitzgerald is another projection I’m…[Read more]

Well done. Thanks for posing!

I’ve heard a lot of good things about Kash. If he’s not starting immediately at the beginning of the season he will be starting at some point in the season.

Haha you’re right! Didn’t even think about it … got it changed

This is interesting to watch. I did not note what Fano did in the spring game. Fano’s interest would be in learning the LT spot for the NFL. Possibly learning both spots which may be ideal. A left handed QB would want him at RT. If or when other QBs play does he switch spots? Is he equally good at both spots? Does he have a preference? A tackle…[Read more]

Excited to see new names almost across the board. Not surprised Richie got passed up. He just hasn’t been the same since his mission. That being said it’s also nice to see guys like him stick around adding quality depth.

You have the starting tackles opposite. Fano is at RT.
