I want say I am “not drinking the cool-aid”, I always drink a little (or a lot) before the first game. I am cautiously optimistic, considering what I see as a return to the hard-nosed defense priority, albeit with a hope that the offense is heading in a positive direction.

An away game, but I expect the Ute defense to be ready, Utah 34, UCLA 27.…[Read more]

I’m unsure what to expect since there are so many unknowns for both teams. I do not have high expectations at this point, but I do have high hopes.

1. I hope our very experienced and talented Oline helps our offense be very productive.
2. I am excited to see what our new QB and RB can do.
3. Has Scalley and the Dline coaches developed some new…[Read more]

No doubt on that! I’ve wanted him to play a Percy Harvin role since I saw his HS Soph tape before he got on campus and I’ve got the downvotes to prove it.

Many moons ago, HS QB’s were really only suited to being the Quarterback. Now, they are typically the best athlete on the team that can also throw. And if you look at the success Whitt has…[Read more]

I don’t have any predictions for the game but I do have some concerns that I will be watching for during fall camp.

1. Center of lines: Utah is returning all starters on the O Line, but the interior has gotten beaten badly the last two years. On the other side, Utah is replacing the 3 who got the most time at DT the last two years with people…[Read more]

My bad bro! Never said he should be our starter. Just trying to make a point that he can go through progressions. Is he the best? No. There is a reason he isn’t playing qb. We all saw that. But if you have a guy who has that experience in my opinion a defense has to respect it. He can be used as a weapon in many ways.

don’t need the highlights. I watched that game. And then I watched the UCLA game. And then I watched the first half of Oregon State. Where was that advanced progression reading ability after Baylor?

If the outlier from a sample set of mainly negative outcomes is extremely positive, it’s probably best not to ignore the most common outcomes and…[Read more]

Beach I could care less about conference realignment hypotheses. I don’t deny BYU has had a better winning pct. I’m talking about talent. I’ve watched both teams play since the 60’s. You asked if I would trade BYU BB success for Utah? Depends on if you count all the sweet 16 appearances,BYU BB players in the NBA, tough schedule you had to endure(…[Read more]

If we poundi Johnson up the middle into tight holes, Johnson might bust quick. Basically, we can’t force Johnson straight down the throat of the defense. If we relax and slow dow with Johnson, use him around the edges, to hit unexpected holes, and in open space, he can bust into the secondary and leave them with quite a mess on their hands.

I’ll…[Read more]

Start it at the 6:00 minute mark. That when he took over for Bryson. Yes there were the 10 yard slant that he completed as well as the rpo but there were also times he went through multiple progressions. Especially on the play action towards the end.

what progressions? Baylor was playing deep and wide to prevent the big play. The first read – slant – was there and he hit it, multiple times. All credit in the world to him for making the throws but let’s not pretend he was buying time until his 5th read came open every play.

It’s just disingenuous to say BYU has not been good the last 15 years. Have they been great? No. But I think every Utah fan would take what BYU has done the last 15 years in a heart beat, especially if it was a generic outcome not at all attached to BYU (so, win percentage, top25 finishes and NCAA Tournament berths). Hell, we’d take what USU has…[Read more]

Still having nightmares about Charbonnet and Thompson-Robinson

Lots of people seem worried. I’m really not.

First, UCLA is returning 2 starting defensive players. Yikes.

Second as good as Nico May be, he didn’t wildly impress at Tennessee. He was an an amazing system that worked well for him. I don’t think he beats us. Especially in a new offense where he only is getting to work with the coaches for a few…[Read more]

Nate’s best game by far was the 4th quarter at Baylor when he took over for Barnes. He handles the progressions well, the problem was he isn’t very accurate throwing 15+ yards.

I don’t like him at receiver. I would love to see him at RB. Shotgun formation with him and dampier in the back. Both can run both can throw. You have to respect so many options there as a defense.

Being creative would be using Johnson as a decoy. I do not want to be predictable. I agree with you on that. However, using Johnson does not make us predictable IMO. Look at Vele in 2023. Look at what Weddle did for us. The ball does NOT and should not go to Johnson just because he is on the field.
