Morgan Scalley said he was interested in the candidates for OC because they did things that made life hard for defenses. I am guessing/hoping that part of that is being a bit less obvious with play calling based on certain personnel (i.e. not calling the same gadget play every time Johnson is in the game).

Beck likes to run an option play…[Read more]

Last time we played (and lost) in Pasadena I remember being so frustrated that they were the more physically dominant team. If I remember right, their center was cooking our D-line. And they had DTR and Charbonnet at the time which makes for a very difficult offense to scheme against, but still, they just repeatedly punched us in the mouth and…[Read more]

I just can’t imagine Utah overlooking UCLA- or anyone for that matter.

I hate it when Utah utilizes “packages” for particular players that indicate precisely which play will be run making the defense completely prepared. Utah has done this a lot.

Please, please, please don’t be predictable in trying to get certain players enough touches. It does not work well.

Beck is supposed to be creative- I dearly hope so if…[Read more]

I can’t even bring myself to click those. I’m already barfing.

I hate it when not utilizing Johnson to his fullest capabilities.

After our past two seasons and our ugly transition into the Big XII pretty much all Big XII creator social media accounts are unwatchable from a Utah perspective. Locked on Big XII is constantly glazing BYU. John Kurtz is super friendly towards BYU, Pete Mundo with Heartland college sports is probably one of the more fair/objective recently but…[Read more]

After last season, we definitely can’t afford to overlook any team this year.

You’re saying the below aren’t missionary tools that make people want to join?

Yes ALUF. Their propaganda efforts when we entered this league have led some fanbases to hate us without even having any exposure to us, our fans, coaches etc. But they can’t hide who they really are and over time, if it hasn’t happened already, other fanbases in this league will realize why they’re the most hated fanbase in college football.

I’m 50/50 or even 60/40 (loss). They always have high talent players. It’s the first week. It’s a road game. New offense etc.

I think that if anyone on the fan side or admin side is overlooking anyone, they should be shot

Beach news alert it was a hypothetical realignment by a hack that had nothing else to write about. Both teams (Utah BYU)have not been good. My point being talent wise not much separation. If you want to say BYU has been better great. I would have the same opinion if Utah made 8 tournaments and BYU 2 switching conferences.You have a much better…[Read more]

It’s a function of the fact that they still believe BYU-Provo Campus athletics is a missionary tool. To them, this isn’t just about football – it’s about your salvation. So they attach more meaning to athletics than pretty much any other fanbase out there.

Of course, the truth is BYU-Provo Campus sports aren’t a missionary tool. Quite the…[Read more]

Utah has a history of being able to leverage their own experience and toughness against more talented teams. *IF* Utah stays healthy I think we can win every game. Will we? I’d give it almost no chance of happening, but assuming Chris Peterson stays retired there are no games on the schedule where it’s a likely loss. Of all the teams that make me…[Read more]

It’s not THAT bad around here. I kinda think a little dust-up here and there add some spice to a message board, but then again i am pretty quick to forgive and forget, so I don’t get offended easily. That is good for me, but maybe bad for others. I’ll try to be a little more considerate.

Refresh my memory! Do you work at/own a bar?

It’s a testament to how much goodwill the program has built, because based on the body of work of our team recently there is absolutely no reason for us to even break the 30s, possibly the 40s. I’m optimistic that we can end the season ranked higher.
