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]

I like ISU. I hope they win the conference. I have no reason to think we are going to get in the way this week.

Want to hear the GOAT, (or at least top 2 qb of all time) talk about this?
Basically with the portal, college football programs don’t exist anymore. They are teams.
They don’t have time to have complicated schemes and identities, because the player turnover is too frequent.
A program had an…[Read more]

I thought Whittingham would be gone after this year if we had lived up to pre-season hype. Now that the season has gone way off the rails, I actually think he will want to come back and make some things right before he retires. Nobody knows but him, though. Maybe losing a bunch will have the opposite effect.

How hard is it to run it up the gut. Everyone in the world has it figured out. I’ve never understood the “it’s complicated” thing. From my perch the Ute’s offense looks Pop Warner simple.

You hear all the time about college QBs going pro it takes time to learn the pro system and how it works. Isaac’s brother Zach commented on Ludwig’s pro style offense.College style offense is easier to learn or just simplified?

This is how every high-level offense used to be. Even for skill positions, it was very rare to see a newly drafted player in the 80’s and 90’s immediately transition to NFL success, rather, it usually took a couple of years for players to learn the system. (Also, it was fairly common for a new coach to not have their offense fully in place until…[Read more]

I hope Whitt leaves at the end of this season to start the rebuilding with Scalley! At this point with the dsyfunction in the program that he’s a liability for the team and if he still decides to coach he will run the program even further into the ground.

I’m sure lots of players ready to jump ship once the season ends. Especially on the…[Read more]

It blew me away. These are high school kids. Maybe a problem with Wilson is he thinking too much?

I believe when Cam went down after his second injury he locked down everything to save his ass from the media and fanbase knowing the truth. He failed the players and failed the fans who pay good money to watch the program on the field only for us to say WTF is going on? When Whitt’s and the media’s pre-season hype wasn’t matching the results on…[Read more]

Am I on drugs, or is it completely ridiculous for an offense to take 2-3 years to learn? That’s just crazy.

Anfernee thanks for the breakdown. The offensive scheme comment stuck out with me. He said it takes 2-3 years to fully understand the offense. He has made comments in the past about Rose not fully grasping the offense. So Wilson must be doing a crash coarse to figure out the offense.

Again that’s old school development where it takes 2-3 years t…[Read more]

If there’s going to be a major overhaul, it makes much more sense to let Scalley take over at the end of the season with Whitt in a consultant role. Utah did this for Scalley after John Pease left for and for Brian Johnson after Norm Chow left.

Losing the Nebraska game really sucked for us, and that ran a century deep. But at this point we’ve had the realignment noose around our neck for 15 years. It is what it is. I guess we’ve always had at least 4 other Big 8 schools with us, so this is still more of our natural home than anywhere else. KSU is our biggest conference rival, and the…[Read more]
