with his shoulder, I think you’re correct. They played Mitchell a lot more in the 4th quarter, even when there was only an outside chance of a comeback.

We’ve seen what it’s like having a potent offense at 38 PPG and a potent defense….see 2021 and TT’s 21 TD’s…that was a fun year.

Even just your double capitalization of UTES deserves a thumbs up.

If I were the UTES I would move heaven and hell to get Alex Atkins to come over of the UTES as OC. He has had a down year with Florida State which has resulted in him being let go. But in all reality he is a victim of the inept Mike Norvell trying to save his hide as head coach. Alex Atkins is an ace recruiter and any solid players Florida…[Read more]

This is so bizarre to me, if our offense is just so darn complicated, why do we not see essentially any evidence for that on the field? Was it so complicated that literally no player has been able to master it? When I hear Whitt say things like this then look at our offensive production under Ludwig, and our record, it really just doesn’t add up.…[Read more]

Regarding Singer getting open, after seeing Vele’s success in the NFL I’m convinced it’s scheme. All the years he was there he and the other receivers weren’t getting open and I just figured they were mediocre and couldn’t get space. Yet, here Devaughn is playing at a high-level in the NFL.

I’m feel like Bernard is good for 8-10 strong runs a game, then he wears down and just doesn’t have the explosiveness.

Finally, statistical proof that Wilson is better than Rising. Truly a battle of titans.

Bernard is so low because he’s pretty much hit/miss on his carries. That ypc got inflated early in the season when he was breaking off a 50 plus every game. Now that he’s not breaking those, and not getting a ton of carries.,, he’s just not going to grade well when he doesn’t pile up a lot of “winning” runs.

Don’t worry about us being wary or hating you outright we don’t hate anyone in the Big12 aside from BYU, who you’ll come to hate as well, ask most any fan with experience sharing a conference with them.

In terms of the online fanbase at this point it’s convenient that big 12 fans neatly separated themselves into two varieties. Those who are…[Read more]

What I’ve been saying is, we’ve won with bad QB play before as long as the RB was a future NFL guy. We’ve won with OL’s similar to this one. 6 game losing streak with a RB that is not top 200 in the country. That makes a little sense to me. Also, Utah RB’s have been very bad at pass blocking. Like grading below 30. But usually that will get put on the OL.

Utah winning is far more important to me than whether beating Iowa State lets BYU in the title game or not.

College style offense is easier to learn or just simplified?

I’d say both. Pro passing games are built around having 4 seconds for the QB to read the field. College you get 2. So the decisions have to be built into the play call and be simple enough that if a QB can deliver on time, he will be successful.

There’s a 2nd aspect that I don’t…[Read more]

We’re in a lose lose situation. Win and our rival most likely goes to the conference championship game.
Lose and we don’t make a bowl game, not as important as it once was, but I’m sure Whitt cares about that and getting anyone who wants to play more reps still helps.

You don’t need our help. Just win and you’re in.

Makes me feel bad for a guy like Damien Alford. I watched him at Syracuse and he’s talented and could’ve helped us. Apparently, the offense was too much for him to grasp in his one year here. His Senior year!

Always had a soft sport in my heart for the Cyclones, playing through the years in the shadows of teams like Nebraska, Texas, Oklahoma, (not to mention Iowa). If Iowa State gets by Utah I would be pulling for them to win the conference title (kind of jumbled at the top, not sure how all the tie-breakers work as we could have a few teams with 2…[Read more]

Don’t believe what you read online about Utah fans- Most of those negative comments were from BYU trolls who were trying to poison the well so to speak. Most of us will admit, we loved the Pac 12, we were sad to see it blow up. We are grateful to be in the big 12. Most of us didn’t think we were gonna walk in and run the show. That is what the…[Read more]

The OL grade support what I have seen. Our two OTs are studs. Calhoun and Teo are studs. We need to make sure these four get taken care of in the off season. I do think that Kump and Togia are serviceable and we can build on them. If you watched the game Saturday, our pass protection was really good. NO ONE was getting open. Zero…[Read more]
