hbUte started the topic Spencer Fano making All-America teams in the forum Football 6 months ago

Not all the All-American teams have been announced yet but some of those which have have Fano here:

CBS Sports: 2nd team
USA Today: 2nd team
PFF: 1st team

This from PFF:
Fano’s ability to maul defenders in the run game made him the most valuable FBS tackle, according to PFF’s wins above average metric. His 91.8 PFF run-blocking grade is mor…[Read more]

So if I said we won’t be able to land any WR in the portal so we’re screwed, that would be better? That would be critical thinking?

We’re going to get WR’s from the portal, 11 have listed Utah as offering. None of us know which ones we’ll get but I would guess we get 3z

WasatchRanger replied to the topic Most likely to remove name from Portal? in the forum Football 6 months ago

Not sure if I agree. Having Micah Bernard come back was really nice, this season would have been even more disappointing without him.

Most of these guys are 18-22. They’re young and figuring things out. If they get out into the Portal and realize the grass isn’t always greener, I think letting them come back is fine.

Great share, love it!

Long time lurker, first time poster. I created an account to share the first thoughts from the Cover 3 hosts about Devon Dampier coming to Utah.
The conversation starts around the 41 minute mark.

“insert himself into the offensive equation:”

Kyle will apply for a COVID year of eligibility, and make himself the starting fullback. His calves would repel tackles.

BYU took some of our favorite guys too. Jay Hill (the biggest reason BYU took such a big step forward this last year). Kalani Sitake (coached at Utah for > 2x as long as he played at BYU). Aaron Roderick wasn’t our favorite though haha.

Utah replied to the topic Known Transfer Portal offers in the forum Football 6 months ago

I’d love to have Ryan Browne. Two QB’s who have some experience, who fit the system, fighting for the job.

Wow, I didn’t realize that Whitted and Ganther were fired. Was there an announcement on this?

Whatever the case, I hope this is a sign that Whitt is letting the Beck have full (or almost full) authority of the offense.

Utes 69 replied to the topic Micah Simon the new WR coach in the forum Football 6 months ago

Alvin Witted and Quinton Gather were poor performers at best.

ProudUte replied to the topic Micah Simon the new WR coach in the forum Football 6 months ago

I wanted Fesi to be our WR coach. I guess he is too tied to Kalani.

byufan replied to the topic Micah Simon the new WR coach in the forum Football 6 months ago

My gosh. You’re taking all our favorite guys.

Micah Simon’s best highlight as a Cougar v Tennessee.

Yergensen replied to the topic Micah Simon the new WR coach in the forum Football 6 months ago

Hope Williams and McNair stay with the team. I assume Whitted was their primary recruiter.

Yergensen replied to the topic Honest question, who is Dampier going to throw to? in the forum Football 6 months ago

ZWilliams is legit talent, 4* and showed it off in small sample this year.

McNair is a high 3* who was well recruited.

Watch highlights of both, they’re good.

You can argue we lack experienced WR and the room isn’t full. However, we have some talent to build around.

Have to keep these guys in the fold and add some guys that Beck likes. I lik…[Read more]

2024 stats (as backup quarterback): 532 yards passing, four touchdowns, two interceptions, 56.6% completion rate (43 for 76); 155 yards rushing on 50 carries

ProudUte started the topic Micah Simon the new WR coach in the forum Football 6 months ago

I have been pleased with our other new coaches. I think we could have done better at WR. He completed his playing career at BYU just 5 years ago. He has only one year as a WR coach, at UNM.

Maybe he will be great, but his resume is not too impressive.

It appears that Beck has a huge say in who will be coaching on the offense. All of these…[Read more]

Great question to revisit after the portal closes. I encourage patience.

I see the downvotes, but no suggestion whatsoever that I have said anything that anyone disagrees with. Classic Utehub. Downvotes instead of critical thinking.
